Same. If only there were another Discord-like client that my friends were willing to use. I tried getting them onto Stoat, but I'm starting to lose faith that Stoat can become the next Discord.

Fluxer is sitting RIGHT there looking at you like yer blind. Stoat literally will never go anywhere. Its made zero fucking progress basically since day 1 is ran by idiots and smalls like a scam from a mile away.

The fact anyone has even remotely considered stoat is honestly concerning.

You forgot how stupid that name sounds, Even if they would be on par feature wise nobody would want to switch to STOAT

Revolt was definitely a better name

Try Cinny or Sable (slightly buggier fork of Cinny with more features.) They're Matrix clients that look close enough to discord.

Or just use fluxer? If you want a discord clone why the fuck are you trying to make a totally different program behave like discord. That defeats the entire purpose of matrix.

Just go use an actual clone.

Or Movim, which is an XMPP client
