  • Absolutely not.

    Stoat (formerly Revolt) is an utter shit-show of alt left and right extremists and the development is dead in the water. They’ve claimed to be working on feature parity with Discord for years now. Not to mention the developers jumping ship and the whole “Stoat” rebrand. Not to mention, their email verification server is just hosted on a homelab setup which has lead to a plethora of users being unable to receive their verification emails, resulting in them requiring a manual approval via emailing in… which guess what… those are also failing to come through!

    Don’t touch Revolt/Stoat. It’s no better.

  • As in, the shots that it produces feel very early 2000s in terms of the overall colour temperature and general "vibe" that it produces. Relax.

    Picked up this brand new TTArtisan 35mm fixed f 1.4 to 16 lens for 15 quid today. Absolutely adore the vintage early 2000s vibe it gives to shots.

    One month's worth of data from Wrexham, North Wales, United Kingdom. (Excluding 3 days where I had an unplanned outage. Whoops!)

  • Oh yeah, that's the other thing. Despite the "rigorous" ID verification, I see so many folks who are somehow exempt from it, chatting and such, only to be found out to be underage. It immediately red-flags that (or any of those) server for me and I am immediately gone. I truthfully don't understand (beyond the plethora of groomers on Discord) why folks would be willing to allow, let alone actively perpetuate the flocks of underage folks surrounding this.

  • One massive issue I see across all of em are privacy and safety concerns. Not even from the requirement to give your ID to some random mook on Discord, but beyond that... You have folks that inherently see one another as just toys rather than people. Playthings... if you will. Moreover, its pure objectification of any potentially vulnerable person within those servers that becomes problematic very quickly.

  • I getcha, I do. I feel the same way, but its mostly pretty niche communities that I've not been able to find, personally. Some of which I've decided to adopt here and start up myself, in hopes of bringing light and life to them on the fediverse.

    Right, Reddit... Riiiight...

  • And here's where we introduce you to this magical term called full disk encryption!
