    Alright, stoat or revolt or anyone else, you’ve got 6 months. I’ll move my group over in 6 months and donate to the best solution. Thanks everyone for pushing back against discord, to the indie devs who are working on alternatives, and to the self-hosting community for making it possible for me to even plan to move off of discord.

      And why not to give Matrix a chance? Stoat (named Revolt before), Fluxer or anything else that is centralised is going to end up doing the same.

        Fluxer isn’t entirely centralized. It has self hosting support.

        It’s quasi centralized pretty much the same as matrix.

        You can just opt to not use the central server for hosting services.

          What?

          I don’t think you know what centralization/decentralization means.

          On matrix, you scan spin up a server/instance and communicate with any other matrix server/instance. On Fluxer, if you self-host, and your friend also self-hosts, your instance/server cannot communicate with your friend’s instance/server. You would have to create an account on your friend’s instance/server and vice-versa. You would also, probably, have to be running two clients in order to chat in both servers/instances.

      Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too, stoat, fluxer, whatever, don’t care which, but 6 months now that there is momentum gives me hope they can smooth out the UX
