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?

Let me save you a few keystrokes, there’s already an app called Matterbridge: github.com/42wim/matterbridge

Fair that! Only problem is, I don’t have any acquaintances, but if I ever fix that, then maybe we can work on that.

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.

They could have spelled it Kyunte, and somehow chose not to.

I posted it from Friendica, I’m not sure how to format posts with links to work on the Threadiverse yet

In his defense, the products are chosen solely for their nutritional value and absolutely not for “deviant reasons” as he’d say

As if we didn’t already know that his hatred for Obama wasn’t at least racially-charged

Considering some AI companies have already used them as a data set under the table? It could be potentially defensible!

I understand the point of this Zoidbergish procedure, but I still have one question - did they bother connecting the nerves and if so, is there tactile sensation on the ear?

Pirate to archive culture, then refuse to consume it regardless in order to reduce demand and influence of Big Media

And people ask why did I stop bothering with Big Media for the most part.

Not sure if it’s a good idea to start at this point in life, especially since I have no friends, no prospect of dating in the short to middle term, and a carefully curated life to avoid the libido from making things worse for my loneliness.
