Yeah, I know a couple of mods whose servers are in a bit of an uproar.
The “unofficial” Arch Linux discord server is inviting/encouraging their members to move to their Fluxer instance. Hopefully that’s a trend that will start.
Fluxer has been an adequate replacement for Discord for my TTRPG group. Been using it since March and it has gotten better every month.
I have no illusions that they may one day become as shitty, but for now it works. And the fact that it's open source and self host able gives me some hope.
Just spent 10 minutes fooling around with fluxer via the web ui. Was able to invite a dice bot, but couldn't get it to respond. (Also it's very D&D-specific, but that's a separate complaint)
Looks so much like Discord
Yeah it's pretty unashamedly a Discord clone.
