What do you think of stoat ? I didn't find any comparison with other safe messaging service.

I understand that legally, it's under the GDPR but it's depand of the UK, famously imply in the 5 eyes States.

3 parties services are used, which may imply metadata leaks' and I didn't saw any mention of end-to-end encryption, OSR or other safety feature.

Stoat sell itself as safety focus. Do you think it's still an interesting app, compare to other chat service like mattermost, or do you think it's a safe-scam like Theema or proton ?

Oh, this is Revolt, didn't know they had rebranded.
As far as privacy goes, they're stuck at no end-to-end encryption https://github.com/revoltchat/revolt/issues/207, otherwise, they are probably (I don't know this for sure, because just being open source isn't enough for this kind of service) slightly better than Discord
