Still a bit alpha, but looks promising. Several features seem to be waiting for atproto implementation.

Or Fluxer, which is further along and not reliant on the crap from Bluesky.

Fluxer has plans to federate and use E2EE by default, and they're making self-hosting a lot easier now too, on top of being FOSS. The audio and screen streaming are already on-par with Discord and they have almost 500k users. The main Dev is in the chat talking to users every day, delivering the most requested features.

Also, Check it out if you haven't

I'm trying to get my friends to join me on Fluxer, away from Discord. I haven't even tried the audio on Fluxer yet. 😔

But it's good to have several alternatives to Discord, at least eventually. 👍

They are redoing the audio and video stuff at the moment.

Who, Fluxer?

Was there something wrong with those two things, that made them want to "redo" them?

[–] technobyte@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Fluxer doesn't have E2EE, use Matrix, which is much further along due to existing since 2014

Matrix :(

So many unsolved ux issues

Yeah and then the non-tech gamers get locked out and don't have their back up code and bitch that they should just go back to discord "because it just works".
