The claims in this post are from a blog post written by one of the devs of Fermi, a client for Stoat competitor Spacebar. I haven't fact-checked this yet, so take with a grain of salt;

blog.fermi.chat/discordAlts/re

Although it's technically possible to self-host Stoat, the client apps are hardcoded to point to stoat.chat, not your instance. Also a bunch of the code it depends on is under proprietary (Source Available?) licenses, and can be hard to find, as it's not all in one repo.

What's the deal with Revolt/Stoat? Is it a good discord alternative?

There's a massive opportunity here, for someone to build a UX that would be comfortable for someone used to Discord. 100% Free Code, and connected to a federated server that can provide all the necessary functionality. Whether that's using;

* XMPP for interop with the Jabber network,

* Meg/Olm for interop with Matrix rooms

* ActivityPub for interop with the forumverse (Lemmy, PieFed, Discourse, nodeBB, etc).

* Something else(?)
