Trying to get my friend group to switch over to Stoat (formerly Revolt) as soon as possible – I think Matrix is a harder sell for people not already in the federated spaces, or non-tech savvy people, but I'm hoping it fits the need.

Stoat seems to be very early in development still. Matrix has gotten easier for non-technical users recently.

Oh, for real? Thanks, I'll check it out - appreciate it buddy!

Edit: Just check it out, and it's honestly got a alot (almost all) of the features I'm looking for, including a Canadian English language option. It sucks that it doesn't seem to have custom roles/tags or custom emojis, but aside from that it being able to pin messages, have separate channels and voice rooms and being E2E encrypted are ticking the right boxes for me.

Something is busted because I wanted tonregister, it said it would verify my email, the verification expired before I even got the email, hours later.

From what I can gather, I think the Stoat team is likely experiencing insanely heavy and unexpected traffic to their platform, and their server is still trying to catch up - I am also running into the same problem, but I assume the team is working hard behind the scenes to get everyone in and stabilize the platform as soon as they can!

Yeah, that was what I kind of figured was going on.
