This app is still in early alpha but I managed to spin it up yesterday and it seemed to work pretty well during my brief testing.

The github has been pretty active since the release yesterday. Note that this isn't my project, just found the Dev sharing it on reddit yesterday

How does it compare to stoat?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 4 months ago

The initial release was literally 7 HOURS ago so its not really recommendable yet at all. Idk why it keeps getting spammed here today.

Stoat has been around for 5 years and used to be called Revolt until recently.

Neither are e2ee or federated so not particularly future proof or enshittification resistant unless you self host (which most people dont...)

I was about to challenge this, but no lie, your name is awesome.

But I'm biased. I have a cousin in New Jersey with the same name.

Sharkord to replace Discord? Sad. Lame. Possibly worse than Stoat.

Nah you're right, it's definitely better than Stoat, but both are F-tier.
