Thankfully, the issue has since been hotfixed by Arc Raiders, but the fault still lies with Discord
Remember you can trust Discord with your driver’s license for verification, I’m sure they won’t accidentally store them in a plain text open API call or anything.
I’ve been using Fluxer recently. It’s been pretty nice since they migrated the servers, and as soon as self-hosting and federation gets added (which is top priority according to Herman), I hope people will switch over.
Federation and easy self hosting will be killer for sure. There is already a Discord migration bot and a Discord-Fluxer bridge bot I think. Future is looking hopeful.
Matrix still misses a ton of features to be a direct 1:1 Discord replacement. On top of that Fluxer has a familiar UI (it’s essentially just a Discord clone) and is simpler in onboarding (Matrix is still techy).
Fluxer is a direct Discord drop-in. Matrix requires a lot of setup and tweaking to get high throughput video. Plus the default server and client are bloated and buggy

I’m not sure why people keep repeating this. I’ve been running both for 6 months without issues (see recent comment about DB maintenance). Maybe it was true before and isn’t true anymore.
I just assumed the python one would be more bloated inherently, and that is the common theme I’ve heard about matrix specifically. I tried using an alternative server supposedly lighter on resources but just never finished setting up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
Can’t wait until Fluxer is ready for full migration from Discord.

Why use fluxer over Matrix?

I didn’t test the default server myself tho
