    I have a Matrix server hosted with tons of cool plugins, bots, and settings to get it as close to Discord as possible. Can’t get anyone to use it lol. Don’t care. I’ll continue to pay for it for when we truly need it.

      What I want out of a Discord-a-like:

      • Screen sharing / game sharing
      • Voice chat
      • Text chat
      • Video chat (voice + camera)

      Do your bots and plugins make that possible?

        Fluxer does all that at this point. Matrix is basically a dead end project spinning it’s wheels trying to endlessly be something that it’s not. Undermining it self at every turn.

        Matrix is just objectively fucked till it figures out the fuck it actually wants to be.

        When you can just self host a fluxer instance you just have everything no bots scripts or bullshit needed.

          Matrix is not trying to be discord or whatever, the users try though, it’s pretty much not a dead project and very useful for whoever just want a chat

        I’m sure there are gaps in it, but the chat itself is encrypted. It’s still in flux before I try to get folks active in it, so I’m trialing a bunch of Maubot tools. It has URL previews, gifs—basic stuff.
