#stoatchat — Public Fediverse posts

Dropped a big guide to the message formatting capabilities of the Stoat chat platform. It covers everything from basic Markdown, to tables, footnotes, and full KaTeX support. Endless possibilities!

Instalei pra testar no Android a ferramenta de chat Stoat (antigo Revolt) e achei a interface impressionantemente intuitiva. 👀

After much ado, I’ve finally shipped the swanky new dashboard for my Stoat bot AutoMod. So glad to finally have it out there and live. I must admit, back-end is far from my strength.

All the deets and informative bits and bobs here: https://automod.vale.rocks/blog/a-web-dashboard-for-automod

I'm working on a system for fetching extra badges - I'm currently intending on using this for donor badges, though I could add more badges in the future.

as part of this, I've updated the privacy information document to explain what will be collected/stored + clarify and update a few things. I've also written a guide listing the different badges and what they mean.

I've opened a pull request with the changes - any feedback/suggestions are welcome :3

I'm trying that Stoat app as a possible replacement for Discord. Europe based and open source apparently.

Phone app is being weird and errors out before I can login but the web app works fine. Hope to get some other folk on and see how it goes.

Now that I've got it working, I've been enjoying stoat.chat quite a bit! I've joined some science and reading servers. I would recommend it so far.

The user base does seem kind of young/teenagers which feels annoying? But I just need to find some age limited servers I think.

Now on #stoatchat - any server recommendations for a #Foss #tech enthusiast?

#LeaveDiscord #discordalternatives

Oh shit Stoat has an ARM64 build for Linux :ablobcorgi_bongo_hyper:​ I wonder if it supports 16k page sizes or if I'd have to build it myself.

Stoat vs Fluxer - which is actually winning in terms of gaining the most ex-Discord users? Anyone know?

I assume Stoat is winning based on the numbers I've seen, but I'm confused because in my feeds all I see anyone talking about is Fluxer. Trouble is I can't find any numbers for Fluxer other than the member counts on fluxerservers - which are all pretty low.

#discordalternatives #fluxer #stoatchat #stoat

Found a tab on my firefox to https://stoat.chat/

But where did I find it?

#revolut #stoat #stoatchat

LMAO fluxer has over taken stoat in github repository stars

fluxer: 2.8k
stoat: 2.6k

insane for a repo that's <2 months old and a project that's nearly as old as stoat

it's also insane that fluxer has more features than stoat, even though fluxer has only one developer and left the private beta a few months ago (which started in 2023 iirc)
#fluxer #stoat #stoatchat #opensource #revolt

So I've lately been thinking about Discord and the definition of what it means to replace it.

And so I'm reminded of a good few things I've always hated and noticed about the platform anyway, at least across the circles I am and used to be on:

- The vast majority of Discord servers has the same kinds of generic channels for chatting, music, videos, art, etc. that are not tied to the stuff these servers are about. Not even for the sake of looking to impress the streamer in question, if that "stuff" is a streamer.

- The forum channels have probably been poorly marketed, because they're not so much old forums as they are mini-Reddits. And people barely use them anyway. And not even for organizing art! They'd rather have a text channel for art and tell people to just not talk that much so art can simply flow.

- Here's a fun one: People don't even like threads on Discord. Possibly because they look ugly. They just don't click with people, even with the benefit of keeping things tidy!

Simply put, people just want to chat, whether on text or voice, and sometimes with video.

And so I have to wonder if we really need a Discord replacement, more than we simply need a breakdown of everything.

At least in my case, my habits always lied in hiding those generic channels from servers because I'd rather post stuff for them here on Mastodon. On the other hand, I use Matrix through a Beeper account on NeoChat (and only open Beeper when I need to link accounts from other chat platforms that I regularly use, like Signal). Thanks to the power of the fediverse, I don't need to sign up on Lemmy (but I could if I want to!).

I think something akin to this decoupled mix is what people probably would want at the end of the day. That's why I still hold hope on stuff like Stoat!

#Discord #Reddit #Matrix #StoatChat #Revolt #Element #Beeper

The discord alternative #fluxer probably needs some security love very soon. Its growing fast and gets lots of attention. Same for #stoat #stoatchat

v0.13.0 is out now! this release includes better message rendering, design improvements and a new language (#french).

@FredricT > j'aime bien @Discourse, c'est un forum avec des vraies pages dans un navigateur, j'étais beaucoup sur des forums quand j'étais ado, j'aimerais bien que ça revienne à la mode. Mais c'est un forum, de la communication asynchrone, pas de la messagerie instantanée. Et beaucoup de gens ont une sainte horreur du format forum.

Et @revoltapp c'est juste l'ancien nom de #StoatChat

Après cette semaine j'ai quand-même envie de refaire un point sur les solutions alternatives à #Discord et où elles en sont selon moi :

• #StoatChat c'est bébé Discord, même UX, l'interface est un copié collé. Et raisonnablement je pense que tout le monde va aller là dessus comme tout le monde est parti de Twitter pour aller sur Bluesky. Et le problème ben... C'est que c'est bébé Discord, l'hébergement en open source n'est qu'un afterthought, c'est donc très centralisé et j'ai pas trop confiance dans le fait que ça soit pérenne en terme de techno libératrice.
• #Mattermost, #Zulip et similaires, c'est très bon en terme d'UX quand on vient de Discord même si l'aspect est sûrement trop corporate, J'pense que c'est la meilleure solution pour migrer immédiatement. Le problème étant que c'est décentralisé mais pas fédéré donc la charge technique et financière tombe sur les organisataires de communauté qui vont devoir chacun trouver et payer un hébergeur avec un tarif dépendant de la taille de leur communauté (ou se regrouper pour mutualiser ça mais ça fait aussi une charge organisationnelle en plus) et côté utilisataires on va se retrouver à potentiellement faire autant de comptes que de communautés qu'on rejoint sans que les applications tiennent compte de cet usage (elles sont faites pour être inscrit sur deux ou trois instances, pas 36) donc ça va être relou aussi.
• #Matrix c'est de la merde. C'est décentralisé et fédéré mais le réseau s'effondre dès que le gros serveur ramouille, en terme d'UX c'est le désastre, les applis sont mal fichues, affichent partout des messages incompréhensibles ou inutiles, rament de ouf, on nous parle de chiffrement à toutes les sauces (en termes obscurs) mais il y a plein de bugs bizarres et des problèmes de synchronisation entre clients et entre serveurs. Et l'implémentation des espaces (l'équivalent des "serveurs" Discord) a été faite par des gens qui ont pas compris à quoi ça servait.
• #XMPP c'est pas prêt. Ça a vingt ans et il y a un gros héritage du passé, l'UX est aux fraises, il y a des bizarreries à tous les coins de rue, les applications ont toutes les options de la terre et des paramètres par défaut aberrants. Mais c'est décentralisé, fédéré, il y a plein d'hebergeurs, ça peut absorber des afflux d'utilisataires sans broncher et sans faire tomber les serveurs des copains. S'il vous plaît les gens qui font de l'UX, allez voir les gens qui développent XMPP et s'il vous plaît, par pitié, les gens qui développent, écoutez les. XMPP le protocole c'est le turfu depuis plus de 20 ans, XMPP les clients c'est le passé depuis toujours, faut vraiment faire quelque chose même si ça semble aller dans la bonne direction. Faudrait sûrement aller petitionner les gens qui font #StoatChat pour qu'iels transforment leur truc en client XMPP en vrai. Là on pourrait dire go.

Et je vais essayer d'arrêter mon hyperfixation de la semaine sur ce sujet parce que je me fatigue, probablement je vous fatigue aussi et je pense que si je continuais là dessus ça serait juste redondant.

I'm convinced there is not a single usable alternative to #Discord

At all.

Every. Single. One. Sucks. All of them.

#StoatChat - no calls, broken desktop app

#Fluxer - no mobile app

#Matrix - OH GOD WHERE DO I START?!

Over at Stoat we’re rolling out our new brand resources, including a fresh, hip, eye-catching, and rather cute icon designed by yours truly. Was really exciting getting to create it for Stoat!

The icon and further details can be found here:

@jakalopes Same thing happened to me when I tried to login and reset my password last night.

Sounds like their server is just getting hammered right now.

New blogpost about the age assurance of #discord

#stoatchat #forums #phpbb #smf #blogpost #ageverification

Ok so I did receive my stoat.chat confirmation email eventually, just very delayed. But the confirmation failed. So maybe they are just overwhelmed with new signups. Will try again in a few days. #stoatchat

Just noting that Stoat.Chat is being promoted as a popular discord alternative, but they seem to not be processing email confirmations with non-standard email addresses, and also not through gmail.

Or possibly, those email services are blocking stoat.chat. So myself (and lots of others) are unable to sign up. #discord #stoat.chat #stoatchat
