GitHub reply from a Stoat Dev 2025: github.com/orgs/stoatchat/discussions/951
I’ve also personally spoken with Stoat community members who were more educated about the project than me. As well as a friend who is very involved in tech projects

The Spacebar alternative client, Fermi, is more actively maintained from my understanding
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 1 week ago:
I don’t know if anyone else has had this issue but I tried multiple times to sign up for spacebar/Fermi and it just didn’t go through. Do they block VPN’s for signups or certain privacy browsers?
I’ve not had an issue with signing up for any other FOSS sites with my setup. Just curious if anyone else was having this issue

No they don’t. Check out my other reply.
TLDR, they plan to but haven’t yet. But currently they (the owners of the centralized instance) have the ability to read other people’s chats due to the lack of E2E encryption

Reposting my reply from another thread, just to keep people informed:
Keep in mind everyone that Stoat still doesn’t currently protect it’s users information and is centralized. It doesn’t use encryption but it is very seamless. You can host your own Stoat instance but it doesn’t communicate with the main one. The devs have said they plan to add more security features in the future yet still don’t make it a priority. The host of Stoat should be able to see everyone’s messages, including in DM’s, due to the lack of E2E encryption. Once they add more security features I imagine they will be much more popular in general.

To be fair, some dashers have regulars and they just directly contact them to cut out the middleman. Not saying this is that case though.
