    As much as I like a lot of the discord alternatives out there I fear they will all eventually face the same fate. Decentralised or someone wrapping the signal protocol into a discord like client is probably the only way to avoid this again.

      Fluxer plans federation in the future, and its AGPL licensed.

      However, it’s still in beta, and the backend’s ability to scale is currently unproven.

      For something that’s more proven, we have Movim, which is already federated with the open standard XMPP protocol.

        So when all your friends want to screenshare on somewhere else, they install Movim and then sign up on…

        And then when they jump into chats, will they be able to search the room history and post memes (images)?

          Yep :D

          It has full searchable room history, can upload memes (gifs from either links like giphy or directly uploaded), images, video files (playable within the chat), and audio messages.

          There’s also a built in paint-like thing that lets you draw directly into the chat, or annotate documents, pictures, or memes.

      Well I mean Fluxer is open source and have self hosting options on their roadmap. 🤷‍♂️
