You… use Discord for this stuff? Communities around interests? I wouldn’t have thought to use it for that. I only use it to comm with my buddies while we play games. 🤷♂️
getting people you know to switch to something different or more privacy respecting isn’t always the easiest. Believe me, I’ve tried.
I feel you. I just told my bros I’m not using Discord, so if they want to talk it’s either Steam voice chat or Fluxer. Thankfully they jumped on board. (Very difficult to play Rocket League well at higher levels without voice comms.)
Well, I don’t use discord, but on some platforms yeah, music, gaming/modding, 3d printing, just to name a few. I mean, I think a big purpose of a lot of those types of platforms are for communities around interests. But no Discord.
I think Fluxer works best as a functionally equivalent alternative to Discord,specifically. Not as an alternative to social media revolving around interests and communities. 😁
Well, then I guess I use it for the wrong reason. Either way, I respect my privacy and security and Discord is a big no, especially with the shit they’ve pulled lately.
Oh yeah for sure. That’s why I stopped using Discord day 1 after they announced the face id shit. They hadn’t even implemented it yet. That’s why I’m now on Fluxer, until that enshittifies. 😄
Ah, no not that many double commits at our level mostly due to game sense, and we’ve been playing together for close to ten years now. But I haven’t experienced any noticeable delay in neither Discord, nor Fluxer. So, I might not be the best person to ask. Perhaps I’ve been lucky. Steam voice chat had quite a latency, however, IME.

Good to have alternatives though. Stout, etc.
Do you feel a difference in voice delay from discord to fluxer? We have so many double commits because discord delay is so high.
