Shout out to Fluxer.
Still don’t think its quite ready but its chugging along and its been fun following the progress. I know they have some big updates inbound. Hopefully people actually give it a shot and flip over to Fluxer.
I’d also add that the “Proton” subscrition equivalent - “Plutonium”, is a better value proposition. But I will admit, they still need to clear a few hurdles before even I feel completely comfortable ditching Discord.
But its Open Source and it has a self-hosting option, along with the Quality of Life you expect from Discord in terms of the app layout, screen sharing, etc.

Shout out to Matrix, which is federated, self hostable, open source, and supports end to end encryption.

Matrix is a bit of a shit show and also isn’t a discord alternative to begin with.

I’ve been using Matrix for over a decade now. How is it a shitshow?

The entire concept of it is a shit show. It’s the prime example of anti user design.
It’s a functional system, with the entire concept of user friendly design and non power user being ignored.
It’s made by power users and engineers for power users and engineers. It’s fantastic for what it is.
