For people that want advice for finding an alternative service, go to the github repo and figure out the state of development. Find the answers to these questions: how many active developers are there? when was the last commit? does this look like LLM code? What do the issues and PRs look like? Remember that we don't want to have to do this again in 10 years, so open source and decentralized are major points.

    Fluxer has no E2EE yet, and no Federation. But it's very easy to set up your own server.

    It's also very easy to set up your own Matrix server with Tuwunel or Continuwuity. I don't know about the state of hosting your own XMPP server, but I assume it's just as easy.

    My friend has set up his Matrix server with Continuwuity (what a name...) and it required quite a bit of technical knowledge. With Fluxer you basically don't need any technical knowledge.

    For comparison, it took my friend about a day or two to set up his Matrix server with Sable as his client, and make sure everything was running smoothly. We managed to set up a Fluxer test server within 30 minutes.

    debian community is migrating to Fluxer, but a lot of people in that community are still asking for IRC, which has "discord-like" front-ends nowadays, so idk why not. It would allow anyone to use any client they want.
