found out about #Fluxer, another #OpenSource #Discord clone. caveat: i have not used it yet. but i know people may not be satisfied with #Matrix and/or #Stoat so this is another idea to explore some info: https://blog.fluxer.app/how-i-built-fluxer-a-discord-like-chat-app/ https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer you can get the app at fluxer.app Haven&#39;t started using it yet, but what I know so far based on the blogpost: * it&#39;s #FOSS * the lead developer wants to implement #federation at some point (though Stoat&#39;s devs may also be considering that; I dunno) * the lead developer wants to implement public forum channels (addressing one big problem of organizations/devteams only using Discord as their public-facing thing) #DiscordMigration

Please let the “forum channels” be, uh, forums and not chat rooms. The lack of public access to Discord servers is a significant problem, yes, but it’s also a giant, massive issue that teams and organizations use an inherently ephemeral communication medium for long term information storage.

@glennmagusharvey@sakurajima.moe the more I look at all these discord clones the more I think that the right question is not how but why

@glennmagusharvey@sakurajima.moe more than you asked for but re fluxer I remain cautions: stoat gas been working on this for 5ish years... Fluxer has been around for months and floated a '499 for life' donation plan. Open source is a requirement yes, but I need to see a certain level of good faith effort before building a community in a new place. I get bad vibes but will keep an eye on fluxer, but am already testing stoat.
