Mumble?
Fluxer
Fluxer is just Discord 2 and likely to go the same way. The website changed pretty quickly but there was an older version talking about monetization models and what was basically Nitro by another name.
If people are serious about wanting to ditch Discord, the answer is going back to decentralized systems, not replacing Discord with a nearly identical app that has the same vulnerability to the owners getting greedy.
Fluxer is open sourced under AGPL: https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/blob/main/LICENSE
It is completely self-hostable: https://docs.fluxer.app/operator/get-started/
It is currently starting development on federation: https://fluxer.app/blog/mobile-clients-and-fluxer-v2#why-is-federation-taking-so-long
It is absolutely not just Discord 2. And while they do have a very aggressive monetization scheme (can’t set a banner with the free account) that’s just to cover the development and hosting costs and it should be easy to disable them as the app is open-source.
Cool. A federated Discord might be the easiest solution. If you’re gonna self host I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just use teamspeak, though.
So don’t use discord. Believe it or not we lived for thousands of years without it.

Heard in Watch Wes Work short on youtube:
“The nice thing about standards, is that there are so many to choose from.”
Tim Sweeney sure seems like a turd of a guy.
So, ActivityPub or XMPP?
Otherwise, the article reads like a corporate boot licking for discord and steam. So aggressive toward Tim Sweeney but for the wrong reasons. Pain to read
