Too small to be corrupted?

I just used Root as an example here. There isn’t a federated alternative of any note unfortunately.

Fair enough. Truthfully I doubt Stoat can ever get that big (especially as it seems Root has a much faster development cycle and is likely to suck up any momentum they might have).

This is true, but also Ofcom runs affairs here and Stoat is likely too small for the forseeable to be even noticed by them.

Remember UK regulatory bodies are known for their ignorance and incompetence.

Matrix just isn’t a Discord alternative flatout to me. It’s too different.

We really do a lack a Discord alternative right now. I know of two major examples: Stoat and Root. Both centralised. This is offputting to many, altough Stoat is actually UK-based which could in theory mitigate concerns about US big-tech.

The only down-the-line federated potential is something called “Roomy”, and I am following it - but it’s too basic right now.
