Not sure where you heard that, but elaborating would be a good way to be taken seriously.
As for Stoat, it's kinda weird that in the last few years nothing has really been done on it, and it still has its original branding in places. Smells like a project the creator is "done" with.

They were a six person crew until fairly recently, and I am literally on the Stoat main dev server.
The fluxer guy is... basically claiming a highly improbable background, along with a lot of accomplishments that make no sense. He claims to have done the majority of the work on Fluxer by himself, while in college, and has only just now gotten into his mid-twenties. People looking him up can find no evidence he's ever done anything documented anywhere, despite him claiming to have been a person who freelance security consulted, etc. Including claiming to have made 'important discord security discoveries'.
Basically, he has a lot of hallmarks of being a face chosen for some shadow group, which is not a good thing to be giving yourself over to when we're already running from Discord basically letting the state security apparatus's shove themselves up the company's backside like the least amusing hand puppet. If clarification and actual documentable history can be produced, then objections will be withdrawn. But for now, Fluxer does not pass the sniff test.

It does, it's just that they're working on how to do it without coming across the hurdles that Mastodon ran into, along with the personal hurdles that make federation usually only attractive to technologically supremely literate individuals. Federation doesn't do any good if it is arcane and hard to understand enough that it makes people turn away, the same thing that made Linux adoption so hard until people realized they needed to make it legible to the masses recently.
Matrix is vulnerable AF, and is lying to their users about a critical problem in their encryption:

I think the issue here is - companies like discord (which have exceptionally shady dealings with Palantir) have been waiting for any excuse to pull the trigger on these face scans and age verifications. If it wasn't the UK, it was going to be another country or state actor.
All to keep the kids safe right?
Politics aside, this pic is hilarious xD

Part of the reason why this is being forced to begin with is apparently related to where Discord has its data servers. Since Discord's data servers are based in Dublin, it means that they're unfortunately forced to comply with UK law, whether they want it or not. That being said, that CEO is also deeply concerning, same with the deals already present to harvest that user data. You are also absolutely correct in that they were just waiting for any excuse to force the adoption of face scans and age verification. What an absolute bloody mess...
If it was only that, it would be bad enough. But the main concern/goal isn't even the arguments by Britain or card companies as 'safety.'
The real goal here is an attempt for data mining and trade, which is even worse when compounded with the inability to keep their own servers safe, and the refusal of compensation.
