It’s now known as Stoat Chat, because the name was changed after a scandal erupted within the Stoat community. My producer is one of a handful of people who are persona-non-Grata in the main instance. In his case, it was for supposed antisemitism (when he’s Jewish himself), truthing, and recommending scientifically-backed things in moderation.

If you want to reaplce i3 with a Wayland alternative, you could still get the i3 experience with Sway, SwayFX, or MiracleWM. I’m sure that’d be quite fine.

i3 is a fantastic WM for beginners who don’t want to do legit programming, like to those of Xmonad (Haskell), AWM (Lua), or BSPWM (usually BASH, but any language works). That’s what Neigsendoig (my producer) and I started WM use with, and we stayed with it ever since.

Ghostty we heard was good, and we used it a bit. However, we stuck to Alacritty, since it used TOML instead of Lua.

While I’m not for using Wayland (as I lean old school with XLibre), I heard Niri was nice for being a scroller. Unfortunately, there isn’t such a WM for X11, but I’m fine with manual tilers like i3 and LeftWM.
