Maybe I’m confused here but if you’re seriously questioning whether you’d benefit from a smaller, Swedish based service over an American tech giant (unsure if this term applies to Discord in all honesty) - for starters you have the Swedish laws/consumer rights, GDPR. This company’s whole idea also seems to resolve around being ‘basically like Discord’ - but without all the aggressive data collection, fingerprinting users, storing messages, and profiting from users data. I also took a quick look at the ToS and PP and it seems pretty solid what their ideals seems to be, or what they want to advertise themselves as. But hey, I bet using a US tech giant company with its entire business model focused on making a profit from user data in the year 2026 is just as good for data privacy respecting laws and regulations as any other!
This is a level of anti establishment that I think goes beyond what I’m capable of resisting. Just honest people releasing their work for free, basically asking for donations for their efforts, trying to make a living out of their skills. 🤷♂️
Why are you talking about Lemmy and federation/decentralization?? What was that rambling about fluxer.lemmy.world? I’m not telling anyone to put that address in their browser address bar. Where did you get that from?
Do whatever you want, bro. 😄 I’m proud of my guys at Fluxer, fighting the ugly Discord.
Matter of fact imma uninstall Discord when I get back home in a couple of hours.
Fluxer has been everything I need it to be in order to switch. Just saying. And what I use it for is basically just voice chat while gaming. No complaints thus far. Do with that what you will.
First of all, calm down, friend. 🤝
Secondly: https://fluxer.com/
Neat, so I am switching from a California based LLC, to a Swedish LLC. How decentralizing!

Scroll back up the 🧵, I am anti capitalist.
Is your previous point then that this is a private company, rather than FOSS?
decentralization. I even mocked the sweed’s lack of exploitation LLCs do.
unless you want to make a RandomHugs LLC.
Does that mean you selfhost every service you use unless it’s run by a non-profit, or what?
when non-profits are ran by for-profits they are petite bourgeoisie so that’s also bad
no need to self host if there’s an instance from an unregistered fellow human though

You do you. 👍
welcome to decentralization 101.
how did you even make it to lemmy in the first place?
Uh. Did you notice I asked you a question? Are you good, buddy?
Did you noticed I am in a different instance than yours, and you don’t own lemmy.world?
