    I don’t like them as a company, but If Discord gives a shit enough to invest in the Linux client to capture more users, Linux is on the right track to grow even more. They don’t care about Linux current user base. They want the user base of what it can become.

        Same. If only there were another Discord-like client that my friends were willing to use. I tried getting them onto Stoat, but I’m starting to lose faith that Stoat can become the next Discord.

          Fluxer seems to be the best candidate alternative. Currently AGPL, with plans to provide self-hosting, federation, and E2EE.

            Or just use fluxer? If you want a discord clone why the fuck are you trying to make a totally different program behave like discord. That defeats the entire purpose of matrix.

            Just go use an actual clone.

              Moving from discord to fluxer, stoat, etc, is like moving from shitter to bluesky. All centralized platforms will eventually go to shit.

                Not of they are self-hostable…? I don’t know what the progress is for Fluxer self hosting, but if it comes through like they have ‘promised’ then I’m excited for it as the next place to go.

                  I looked into fluxer and it doesn’t appear to be federated, meaning you would have to have an “official” fluxer account to interact with the majority of the communities.

          Fluxer is sitting RIGHT there looking at you like yer blind. Stoat literally will never go anywhere. Its made zero fucking progress basically since day 1 is ran by idiots and smalls like a scam from a mile away.

          The fact anyone has even remotely considered stoat is honestly concerning.
