I can't even create an account on Stoat yet. New account confirmation emails take hours to arrive and by the time they do, they are already expired.

This is not a discord alternative yet and not be for a long time most likely.

    They're having issues with their email provider due to the hug of death effect, they did not expect to get so much traffic so fast

    I understand, but they are losing the train I guess. People are giving up easily when they need a solution fast.

    Their loss. They have at least a month to migrate, probably more before most users get forced to verify, there is no rush. That and an ad-free hobby-run project like Stoat doesn't gain anything from a massive user increase unless it correlates to an increase in devs or money.
