Remember you can trust Discord with your driver’s license for verification, I’m sure they won’t accidentally store them in a plain text open API call or anything.

      I’ve been using Fluxer recently. It’s been pretty nice since they migrated the servers, and as soon as self-hosting and federation gets added (which is top priority according to Herman), I hope people will switch over.

        Federation and easy self hosting will be killer for sure. There is already a Discord migration bot and a Discord-Fluxer bridge bot I think. Future is looking hopeful.

        Matrix still misses a ton of features to be a direct 1:1 Discord replacement. On top of that Fluxer has a familiar UI (it’s essentially just a Discord clone) and is simpler in onboarding (Matrix is still techy).

        Fluxer is a direct Discord drop-in. Matrix requires a lot of setup and tweaking to get high throughput video. Plus the default server and client are bloated and buggy

            I just assumed the python one would be more bloated inherently, and that is the common theme I’ve heard about matrix specifically. I tried using an alternative server supposedly lighter on resources but just never finished setting up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            I didn’t test the default server myself tho
