Discord has announced that it's rolling out age verification checks globally from March – and the decision has sparked fury from many privacy-conscious users.
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!
I just signed up yesterday, and yeah, it took almost a day to get my verification, but it worked. I haven’t seen any extremism yet, but I’m still new. I’ll look into the development thing.
Stoat?
Absolutely not.

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

I’ve heard (though not personally confirmed) that their servers are overwhelmed
I just signed up yesterday, and yeah, it took almost a day to get my verification, but it worked. And the rest seems to work fine.
