I just created an account on https://stoat.chat

Has anyone else heard of it? What do you think?

I normally wouldn't like the overloading of the term "servers" but if it's stealing it from Discord I guess that's good.

They should have screenshots. But I guess it's like Discord, which I don't care for in the first place. But better to get people onto a FOSS alternative.

Yeah, the term "servers" comes from Discord.

Stoat seems ok but if there are any keyboard shortcuts, I can't find them. Kind of a deal breaker for me.
