I think some programmers with striped thigh-high socks should take one for the team and work on Fluxer. Seriously!

Are there any options out there with screen sharing yet? Last I checked stoat was dragging their feet on it
Click the link. This one supports screen sharing, and much more.
Oh missed that, thanks. Thought video only included cameras since screenshare wasn't in the bullet points
Movim does, and recently landed screen-sharing application audio too (must use a chromium based browser for now to stream the audio too).

Paid features? Ew.
I'll be waiting until federation rolls out. Someone will definitely set up an instance that gives you the paid features for free
edit: replaced fork with instance after finding out that it can be configured
You don't have to fork it. The self-hosted version comes with all features.
That's sounds reasonable.
I thought so
The thing about built-in enshittification up front is that there is no guarantee that it doesn't get worse from there.
Right, because why should someone to get an income and pay their server costs?

I miss using Mumble. I think it was great, but very barebones. I don't think I'd be able to convince my friends to switch there. But this is something, at least.
I'll join and be your friend.

It's between commet on matrix or fluxer for me, self-hosted.
The e2ee of matrix is preferred but it's still a bit too user unfriendly, and screenshare is not performant enough for gaming requiring self-hosting a livekit SFU.
Fluxer similarly uses livekit and will be self hostable and really is the most discord-like 1:1 replacement, but I agree both are alpha at best with commet somewhat ahead.
I'm looking forward to how things shake out. The only certainty is discord is dead for me.
Also you can download commet today and the alternative is promises.
The screen sharing for games is not bad, it depends what you're used to. I've had some Discord headaches before 2022, but game sharing was always the main thing they had even when almost nothing else worked that well.
Also depends on your connection. The shittification throttling on non Nitro accounts tends to screw me over at home.
This requires an account on a centralized service.
It looks good but I'd rather make an account on a self hosted instance or just use a local account like TeamSpeak 3.
