Anyone know if Stoat is a worthwhile alternative?

Its kinda buggy, but has 95% of discord functionality without the bullshit

Cool. Once they get the verification emails going again I'll check it out. Discord has been causing GPU crashes for me lately, hopefully stoat doesn't.

I had problems with the desktop app fyi. But i run multiple accounts across many services so i recently started using Ferdium, which runs web apps in containerized sandboxes. Its very useful for managing multiple accounts on the same service. Ferdium also has the option to work completely locally with no account needed. It is very nice.
