[[Wokecat]](''created by [[Sammich]]'') and [[Sleepycat]](''created by [[PinkiePie]]'') are both chatrooms used almost exclusively by (edgier) members of the OWOT community. | |||
They are seen by some as alternatives to OWOT's built in [[chat]] system, and of the [[OWOT Discord]], which is hated passionately by most Woke/Sleepycat users. | |||
=== Wokecat === | === Wokecat === | ||
Wokecat | The idea for Wokecat originated from an YWOT IRC named [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~ycentral /~ycentral], which was created in 201? as a way to connect prominent community members outside of the canvas. | ||
The idea of a chatroom for YWOT users has gone through several names over the years, including ycentral, spooks, and awakens.me. Wokecat is the latest version and was created by Sammich in 201?. | |||
Wokecat has a main channel along with several smaller rooms. It enables users to upload gifs, and to customize the color, size and font of their usernames/messages. Certain words are automatically replaced whenever they are sent in chat(''Ex. "discord" --> "dicksword," "sammich" --> "1984"''). | |||
Frequenters of Wokecat include veteran YWOT users Sammich, [[Mr.Guy]](''Nihilum''), JA and [[Kevin]]. Other notable users are Jesse76—who is also active on the YWOT Discord—and [[Tatejo]], who migrated to Wokecat after the sudden closure of Sleepycat. OWOT users such as [[d9eoead]] have also been known to visit the site from time to time. | |||
Unlike Sleepycat, Wokecat keeps a permanent log of messages which can be browsed using a search bar. The context behind past messages are still obfuscated, however, as you cannot jump to older convesations like in Discord. | |||

The main difference between the two sites is that Sleepycat does not keep a permanent log of edits, making it a preferable environment for many of OWOT's more toxic users. The chatroom has historically had an antagonistic relationship with the wider OWOT community. On several occasions Sleepycat users have shared plans to take down either OWOT or its Discord server. | |||
Sleepycat mysteriously disappeared in early 2025, causing a few of its users to migrate to Wokecat. | |||
Formerly active users of Sleepycat included PinkiePie, Tatejo, [[Meimei]], [[Elon]], [[Polonez]] and many more. | |||
