Instant messaging and VoIP application

character limit, upload limit, community limit, no username per server unless you pay for a subscription? hard pass.
This won’t become federated simply because of the fact you have to pay to unlock these features. If I made a fluxer server then I wouldn’t charge my users for having a stupid animated gif avatar. I know discord is shit but this thing ain’t the alternative.
They are also working on a new update which will lay groundwork so they can post more concrete self hosting info.
but how does the “subscription” stuff work if you self host? I’m not gonna use fluxer on their servers because they put dumb shit behind a paywall like discord does.
Who knows… Like most discord alts it’s to early to know
What is flathub?
A place where you get software for Linux, in the form of flatpaks.
I am using it more or less actively. The big thing I am waiting for is the self host and federation support. But in general it is a good replacement for discord with its own people and community’s. Met really cool people there.
Ooh, dope! I’m gonna try this out in a bit.
Sigh, you need to register before you are allowed to click around. I guess ill wait a bit more then. How are you finding it?
So far, it’s pretty much exactly what’s on the label. Seems like a decent discord clone, things work pretty much exactly how you’d expect them to.
I’ll be able to try out fluxer more this evening as I beg my friends to swap. 😅
My only complaint, and it’s a real me complaint, is the flathub installation didn’t work like at all and I couldn’t figure out why, but most of the time flathub won’t work for me. It just means I have to go to the developer’s site and grab the file there.
why not use in browser?
I don’t like having a browser open all the time. And like I said, it installed fine when I just grabbed the .deb file from their site, I just can’t use flathub.
Sounds like it can be great in the future then, hope you can get your friends to cross over.
The install seemed to work for me through the cosmic store, so hopefully they figure out why it didn’t work for you :)
On Linux the one thing that is borked right now is sharing the PC audio when screensharing. Everything else is crazy good. Best Discord clone by far.
Seem interesting.
Fucking finally
Can talk cryptocurrency on there?
