Fluxer: A chat app that puts you first
fluxer.app
Fluxer is a free and open source instant messaging and VoIP platform built for friends, groups, and communities.

Asking because I value opinions here.

Personally I don’t think anyone can influence what the general audience of chat users ultimately coalesces around. That’s going to happen, and it’s going to be out of anyone’s control as people discuss and compare and decide which they prefer of the dozens of alternatives appearing.

This however looks interesting to me. I know it’s not Matrix and thus not secure like everyone here wants. But it is fully open source and it is AGPLv3.

It feels like it’s getting some traction and interest. If it has problems that anyone here can spot (besides the full encryption which isn’t something the rest of the discord users looking to leave are going to demand), I am interested in hearing them.

    This feels like a project that would be years in the making especially since its now competing for user share against matrix and discord.

    Yes I think the dev says on one of the about pages this was 4-5 years of solo work and what they believe to be the “closest to feature parity with discord” of all open source offerings.
