I just checked, it seems like Stoat doesn’t have screen sharing yet. Also no video yet. Both say “Coming soon!”
They have text and voice channels available today though.
does any one have any thoughts on Stoat?
It’s pretty much a Discord clone. The UI is very similar. Which is good!
However, right now the biggest hurdle I have is the slow server performance. They’re understaffed and underfunded, the main instance is slow. Maybe it would run great if you self hosted it.
I recently learned about fluxer.app, which is another clone.
I just checked and screen sharing seems to be working with them. fluxer.app also has voice and text channels.
Interestingly, fluxer.app says federation is on the road map… But, realistically who knows when that could be. Fluxer also said they’re purposely not working on federation now because they have a million other things to work on, which is totally fair.
fluxer.app wants you to pay them starting now. They sell Plutonium, which is like Nitro. Which. Also seems kinda fair. Devs need to eat.
Stoats backend does support voice and video it’s just not quite enabled in the frontend yet. I got it all working by following the info here https://github.com/javif89/stoat-selfhost
An app that doesn’t have a sub is an app that you are the product. I’m so fucking tired of subs being framed negatively or as if they need a justification.
If a service or product is free then YOU are the fucking product. That’s how we got to this shitty point in the first place.
