why would they move to stoat if they are too lazy to install matrix?
Because it's litteraly a copy of discord.
Yes, last time I tried Revolt it looked shamelessly like Discord's UI.
I feel that if they just wanted an app with the look and feel of discord, it would have made more sense to make a matrix (or maybe xmpp) client with the look and feel of discord. I honestly don't see much value in yet another protocol if the only distinctive feature is in the look & feel of the UI. Specially if they are not designing the stack in a way that is at least as good as those other options from a security, privacy, feature extension and decentralization standpoint.
Coming from discord, matrix element ui is shitty (my personal viewpoint only). The fact that you don't have a visible spaces et chats hierarchy with categories is so complicated to get where you are and know what is there.... On that front Cinny does very great, but has no audio nor video for now.
