I have been using Hive chat since the start as you know - I only talk to five people - the other four have never had a problem.
Gab I like, and use most days, but holy crap I've had a lot of problems with it - in the early days and when it got taken out, it was hard to imagine it ever working - that is why i hedged my bets with flote
They just buggered up yet another thing two days ago and pissed everyone off
and its totally overloaded and barely runs since trump was booted off twatter
Stop bullshitting - you don't even know five people and have to talk to imaginary friends
