    Worth noting that while Klipy is headed up by ex Tenor employees, Google has also heavily invested in Klipy.

    At my community (The Gamers’ Tavern) we ditched Discord (when all the age verification crap started) in favour of Discourse and Fluxer (Discord clone, but open source and self hostable) and currently Klipy integration is offering a sketchy and vague pricing model that is looking like it is going to include ads.

    So, that’s the vein that runs through all of this. Google killed Tenor, funded a new startup that’ll eventually likely be somewhere they can of course shove ads into.

      Thank you very much for more insightful information! Google has always been a changer, not a talker, and appreciate them!
      Yet, may I ask why did you choose Fluxer over Stoat, and if the source of Google investing in it available?
