From what I can tell, the only benefit is that the platform is close to the Discord experience. So people migrating to Stoat would feel right at home.
But there’s no federation, no e2ee, apparently it’s difficult to get voice setup if you self host…
Matrix has it’s issues too. Goup chat e2ee is not good. No one uses it. But at least they’ve got federation.
https://continuwuity.org/ seems like a decent server to run if you want to run a matrix server.
E2EE group chats on matrix seems to be a huge problem still. I look forward to their MLS implementation. Hopefully that fixes a lot of these UX issues.
It’s a shame, zulip doesn’t have e2ee. not even DMs. but they seem to be working towards federation of some sort? there are no good/perfect solutions out there.
Turns out they also don’t support federation or e2ee. If those are things you care about.
Check their GitHub. Although it looks like GitHub is having issues right now.
Link to their voice chat implementatoon.
Looks like you can enable it on self hosted version. Probably worth someone trying it out personally. Before giving up on stoat.
No clue! It was revolt before. I think they had trademark issues with that name. What’s wrong with stoat?
Check out https://stoat.chat/, it’s the closest self hostable group communications platform to Discord.
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this flow! 😍
Have you checked out rocketchat or stoat? 🙏

tuwunel seems to have some docker guides for how to set up voice & docker.
