    I’m already self-hosting a XMPP and a Matrix server, just in case. A shame that most of the group chats I’ve found there are about free software, assorted geekery, but not much of what I’d usually find on Discord - hopefully that changes in a few years.

      Unlikely. They make for poor discord community replacements. There’s just too much complexity at the door.

      Most things are looking towards fluxer as the replacement. Since it’s actually a discord replacement unlike xmpp or matrix. Which are alternatives not replacements.

        I’m not sure about Fluxer specifically, but I’ve seen Zulip being deployed as a self-contained chat room for a few projects now. Also Stoat claims to be a Discord replacement. What does Fluxer offer in particular that the other two don’t?
