Stoat, the chat application formerly known as Revolt, seems to be promising for the future home of our community. It is FOSS, can be self hosted, and free of "AI."

Now, Stoat and "AI" code is complicated. They previously pushed some commits but reverted them after community backlash. They even took it a step further and admitted the mistake and committed (pun) to no future "vibe" coding.

They reverted it, admitted it was a mistake, and said no future "AI" coding.

This is acceptable to me and I find it commendable to go back and remove the old code. I understand people make mistakes, but they can be redeemed.

Specific reverts:

for-web#617
for-desktop#42
service-openproject-zammad-sync#2
