Tried flock-chat 2.2.230, rev 99 locally and it starts just fine. Any chance you could enable some debug log?

This looks like a very specific error. Maybe stracing with snap run --strace flock-chat would give more details.
running desktop snaps as root doesnt seem like a good idea, does it work if you invoke it without sudo ?
