Extension to Fluxer
Hi folks,
As you might be aware, Discord finally enacted its identity verification policies, all the while they struggle to keep the identities they store, safe. Moreover, Discord was not a FOSS platform. Keeping with FOSS principles, we have decided to allow members to opt out of Discord's shady practices (to some extent) by using Fluxer, a FOSS alternative to Discord, without losing on any of the community that has been built on the Discord server.
The Fluxer community can be joined here.
Essentially, we have launched the community on Fluxer as well, and messages from one are mirrored onto the other via webhooks. We also have plans for eventually self-hosting the Fluxer server, so stay tuned. Migrating to Fluxer carries certain advantages over Discord. Some of these are a better alignment with the FOSS philosophy, improved privacy, less telemetry, a customisable client, 25MB file uploads, the ability to self host, and a 10 fold increase in the number of available emoji slots for the server. There are more but I will omit them here for the sake of brevity. Needless to say, it is very recommended to try moving to Fluxer.
Anyhow, that's all for this post. We have a couple other changes planned for the community in the near future so keep an eye out for those:)

I use Bsky because it is the lowest offender that has all the orgs and artists that I follow. github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/blob/main/.github/LLM… web.archive.org You directly choose to use Fluxer despite being given evidence it uses AI, yet claim to be against AI yourself.
Fluxer is another one (self-hostable, not e2ee afaik): fluxerapp/fluxer
