Waiting for federation before I’m able to hop over I don’t want my friends first experience to be on my self hosted server where they can’t interact with anyone else. But yeah fluxer will be great
Maybe I’m confused here but if you’re seriously questioning whether you’d benefit from a smaller, Swedish based service over an American tech giant (unsure if this term applies to Discord in all honesty) - for starters you have the Swedish laws/consumer rights, GDPR. This company’s whole idea also seems to resolve around being ‘basically like Discord’ - but without all the aggressive data collection, fingerprinting users, storing messages, and profiting from users data. I also took a quick look at the ToS and PP and it seems pretty solid what their ideals seems to be, or what they want to advertise themselves as. But hey, I bet using a US tech giant company with its entire business model focused on making a profit from user data in the year 2026 is just as good for data privacy respecting laws and regulations as any other!
Do whatever you want, bro. 😄 I’m proud of my guys at Fluxer, fighting the ugly Discord.
Matter of fact imma uninstall Discord when I get back home in a couple of hours.
Fluxer has been everything I need it to be in order to switch. Just saying. And what I use it for is basically just voice chat while gaming. No complaints thus far. Do with that what you will.
I never said I needed to join so many communities but the list of communities is small. For example, I have a huge interest in certain types of music and I like to find out about bands and artists I may have never heard of, so its nice to join a community of people from around the country/world. Also, getting people you know to switch to something different or more privacy respecting isn’t always the easiest. Believe me, I’ve tried.
You… use Discord for this stuff? Communities around interests? I wouldn’t have thought to use it for that. I only use it to comm with my buddies while we play games. 🤷♂️

I feel you. I just told my bros I’m not using Discord, so if they want to talk it’s either Steam voice chat or Fluxer. Thankfully they jumped on board. (Very difficult to play Rocket League well at higher levels without voice comms.)
Ah, no not that many double commits at our level mostly due to game sense, and we’ve been playing together for close to ten years now. But I haven’t experienced any noticeable delay in neither Discord, nor Fluxer. So, I might not be the best person to ask. Perhaps I’ve been lucky. Steam voice chat had quite a latency, however, IME.
Their client could be pure assembly, it’s to little, to late.
Everyone get on Fluxer already.

Federation? In Fluxer? I’ve missed something.

wtf are you talking about. fluxer.lemmy.world returns nothing.
First of all, calm down, friend. 🤝

Neat, so I am switching from a California based LLC, to a Swedish LLC. How decentralizing!

Scroll back up the 🧵, I am anti capitalist.
Is your previous point then that this is a private company, rather than FOSS?
decentralization. I even mocked the sweed’s lack of exploitation LLCs do.
unless you want to make a RandomHugs LLC.
Does that mean you selfhost every service you use unless it’s run by a non-profit, or what?
welcome to decentralization 101.
how did you even make it to lemmy in the first place?

I joined fluxer some months ago but the amount of communities seems very little.
🤷♂️ I just made my own server and my friends joined that, then we talk while we play Rocket League. Just like we did on Discord.
I dunno why you need to join so many communities on Fluxer?

Do you feel a difference in voice delay from discord to fluxer? We have so many double commits because discord delay is so high.
