Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

I’m moving everyone to stoat. I’m not an expert, but from my perspective and use needs it’s functionality the same or slightly better in every single department. Things are laggy currently but that’s because they didn’t expect a wave and they’re being really transparent about their efforts to accommodate that. As for content, I’ve never used discord as a social media, I use it as an organized group text and team speak for gaming. I expect public servers will become more viable with the swell in users though.
