Why would I go from one closed source corporate to another closed source corporate that's got less features?

There is the source code. I've never heard of fluxer before and it took 2 seconds to find, at the bottom of the page linked in the comment you replied to.

Way to shit on the hard work of volunteers.

Did you look at the link? It's open source

[-] tyler@programming.dev 0 points 13 hours ago

Probably because open source alternatives have had decades to do better and still haven’t.

[-] Statick@feddit.online 1 points 10 hours ago

It's open source, the guy that responded to me didn't bother to look at it.

Oh nice, never heard of it before. How does it actually compare to Discord?

[-] Statick@feddit.online 1 points 5 hours ago

It got an influx of people and is laggy, but when it works... it honestly feels just like discord. I haven't seen screen sharing working yet but the dev in the discord was saying he was working on an update to alleviate the lag and it would make self-hosting easier, which would also help alleviate lag indirectly
