They have those features coded but can’t implement because of infrastructure issues.
This is the first time that I have seen Movim talked about other than being mentioned in lists. It also seems to have some barrier to entry, try explaining federation to anyone not in tech. I can’t run a community on that. At least people have heard of Matrix if I want to be decentralized. I am open to suggestions for practical solutions.
Stoat is centralized and has no e2ee
Stoat isn’t perfect, but it is the best replacement. It is open source and the developers work on a volunteer basis.
Stoat is missing video calls and screen sharing, both of which Movim has while still being federated and encrypted.

It’s easier to use. Besides Matrix e2ee is opt-out, and lots of public room disabled that.
