Changed to Stoat (formerly Revolt) to replace Discord.

Also joined Proton for a replacement to Google. Seems to be mostly 1:1 except spreadsheets.

Did a full comparison / feature review for Google vs Proton, and Discord vs Stoat, for those looking for an update. Ill hunt down the original thread and try to add it on there for more people to see it.

(Sorry for any typos)

vvv -Comparisons / Review below- vvv

- Gmail > ProtonMail

Google Drive > Proton Drive

- Missing: No spreadsheets

Google Docs > Proton Docs

- Missing: No "tab" feature

Discord > Stoat

Overview: Stoat is a community-based chat client very similar to Discord. Open sourced, so all programmers can code to it. Has a dev Server you can join and participate, can also search for keywords of certain features to check up on status.

- Dev Community:Has feedback option, changelog, and full sourcecode links directly in the settings section. Has a dev server for contributing, hanging out, etc.

- Profile: User Name follows identical convention as old Discord - [username]#1234. Has pfp, display name, profile info, profile bg

- Appearance: wide range of themes and colors and fonts to select presets or manually override, various emoji packs. Variety of language options, includinf sillies (OwO, Pirate, 1337, etc).

- Sync across devices: appearance, themes, languages

- Security: Has a section to track sessions. Has 2FA, backup codes, and a way to delete or disable your acct.

- Communities: Has a Servers with Categories, Channels, Roles (with colors and ranking), Permissions, Server Profiles, emojis, invites, bans, search feature, etc.

- Creating Server Invite is wonky. Must create an invite using a desktop app or webapp (cannot create the invite link using webapp in desktop mode, or via mobile app -- unsure if it's just my phone.). Directions: right click on Server icon > create invite > copy link, paste link to friends or wherever

- Has Android app (limited features, beta). Not able to generate invite link. Notifications don't seem to work at all. Need to close and reopen for most changes to take effect, and sometimes to reconnect and load chats and refresh friendslist

- No iOS app (unsure if planned, but iOS store is a bitch to get your app added to it to begin with, so they're probably working on the Android app first to base it on).

- Custom Emojis allowed in servers (though the tags are a bit wonky - still usable)

- Uses true basic markdown (which means no underline, no spoiler tags, no sub-header)

- New: Channels can have icons!

- Missing: Threads, Polls. No plans that I can see to add these features currently.

- Voice channels: The UI is set up, and there seems to be an old system in place but it has been reported to be unreliable and wonky. Says they plan to finalize new system some time in the next couple months, but no official ETA. (I have not tested the old system to report specifically)

- Pinging: @[user] available, but currently no @[role] or @[everyone]. The feature has been requested and coded, but not yet pushed to production (no ETA given)

- Pins: Only available via web app in beta.

- Bots: readily available, have fun

- PluralKit bot: There is a Bot called RevoltBot that ties in to PluralKit, but I personally haven't used it yet. Seems like it would take some effort to set up. I plan to explore this soon. Ill rb this post with instructions once Ive figured it out. Here's a link for those interested: https://github.com/y2k04/revoltkit/

I realized something about why anti-endos may have such a hard time with endos.

Being endo, you start out as plural. Usually, anyways. A lot of non-med origins require a bit of suspension of belief (see: willogenics, etc). Belief in other realms, belief in the souls of objects, belief that there can be multiple souls in one body.

But that means there isn't a scientific, logical "reason" you're plural. Those who are anti-endo are very scientific in their mindsets. "There's a reason for everything," and "proof" is required.

It's similar to religion vs atheists. With anyone who has any sort of religion (not just Christianity), there's a level of faith that goes into it. Being endo, or pro-endo, is like having that faith -- believing someone when they say what they are and how they came to be, even if it sounds unrealistic or unreasonable, without any requirement of proof.

And thus, you have syscourse, as intense as the discourse between atheists and theists.

I tried to search to find a prev post of mine to reblog with some updates, and it seems like my speaking tag is used by others. I need a different one. I'll try to update all the posts once I've got it.

TBD.
