The only credible alternative to discord right now that is also free and open source and not completely reliant on venture capital and traditional economics in general is Fluxer.app - The app in itself is extremely promising and provides an almost 1:1 clone to discord with a few nice additions such as federation (which is still not available but in course of making). Unfortunately it is still under maintenance right now but I am willing to wait a little to be able to use something that respects me as a user and human being instead of being milked to death for my data to be taken by big evil corps who’re actively working to suppress our freedom. It is the only financially sustainable and therefore credible FLOSS alternative to Discord right now. Also, about the controversies of the CLA, Hampus (dev of Fluxer) has completely removed it stating that it was just a loophole to use if fluxer didn’t take off in the open source community. If course Fluxer eventually did take off and of course the CLA got removed
I won’t delete my discord account because sometimes I also wanna chat with friends who still play on console but I won’t chat on it again and I will definitely wipe out all of my chat history and leave all servers I’ve been, sooner or later
I wiped all messages too, because it feels good, but in reality I think you actually don’t need to bother as they have already scraped everything and all it does is that other users won’t see them.
