The problem isn't that there are no alternatives. It's that there's like 50 alternatives. Centralization makes us vulnerable, but it's also super convenient.

There's a reason we preferred reddit and now Lemmy instead of different forums with different logins for everything.

The biggest problem with getting off Discord is fragmentation of communities.

    First one of those contenders that solves federation in a nice way would be a winner. Quite a lot of them has it on their roadmap so my hopes are not completely lost.

    I could probably just google this... but I think I just want to hear a real person explain something this time :P

    What do you mean by "solves federation"? As in bringing disparate groups together under a single app?

    bringing disparate groups together under a single app

    Yep, that's pretty much how I'd like to see it done. Similar to lemmy/piefed, where I can reply to your comment from different server. E.g. Fluxer have something like this in their roadmap, fingers crossed.

    Fluxer is the alterative it does 90% the same thing. Has a sub model for the users who need a centralized option or large communities they can't self host for

    And it offers self hosting for free if you don't want to pay the sub. Self hosting has no restrictions.

    But Fluxer is one dozens of platforms that do what Discord does. If it was the only one, it would be easier to move.

    But as it is people who are on 20 discord groups don't want to deal with migrating to 20 different platforms, so they're just staying where they are.
