    Well, Stoat has the same features as Discord, including many premium ones for free, the ability to write HTML/CSS for your own server, with the only thing missing being video feed. Otherwise, it functions the same while being much faster.

    Also sign up is very quick, but right now they're getting hugged to death, so sign up emails might take a while to arrive.

    Sign up is QUICK? It's been more than a hour. I've tried through the app, through the web, it hasn't sent me back NOTHING for verification. Still not signed up. What's quick for you? 10 hours to sign up?

    I literally fucking said they got hugged to death. Why are you mad at an app/website that literally had its email crash from everyone trying to sign up at once??

    If they can't handle this small surge in volume, they are too small to handle any issues that might come up down the road. Not trusting my web of friends with an app like this. Because I have to onboard OTHERS onto this mickey mouse unreliable operation, that's why. Downvote me for all you want but THAT is a simple fact that exposes them for what they are. Amateurs not ready for it.
