I shouldn’t have laughed, but I did.

Fluxer is promising but the server is way too fucking laggy.

If you like having enough packets sent to your router to the point where you have no choice but to play the Windows XP 3D pinball game, that’s your choice. People are petty in 2026.

Root isn’t good. It isn’t open-source, and its privacy policy is worse than Discord’s. The interface is unfamiliar, and the average user doesn’t want to spend time learning a new layout.

Matrix is trash and had a data breach in 2019. Nothing about Element or Cinny is special. Servers exist, but there’s no voice chat. On mobile, Element is basically just a clone of Telegram. Commet is the only client with voice chat, and even then, it exposes your IP. Not everyone can afford VPNs.

TeamSpeak is garbage. It exposes your IP address to every server you connect to, and not everyone can afford a VPN or the cost of running a private server in 2026.

Right now, Fluxer stands out to me as the most promising Discord alternative. It offers a Nitro-style subscription at half the price, keeps a familiar Discord-like interface that makes onboarding easier for new users, and it’s open source. My only concern is the lack of end-to-end encryption.

Matrix’s clients are just very limited thus far. Large homeservers can still affect a huge portion of users, and open-source code isn’t automatically secure if deployments or clients are vulnerable. Architecture and development models aren’t guarantees against widespread impact.

I never said I didn’t have issues with Fluxer. I said that it looked like the most promising alternative right now. That’s a straw-man of my position, and focusing on my account rather than the argument itself is a deflection. I don’t mind decentralization and open-source platforms.

Stoat’s UK ownership raises potential regulatory concerns, especially as the British government continues to promote age-verification policies that could shape how the platform operates.

I think Fluxer is the most promising Discord alternative right now. Their version of Nitro is half the price of Discord’s. It uses an interface that new users will already be familiar with since it’s Discord’s UI, and it’s open source. My only issue with it is that it’s not E2E encrypted.
