Fluxer exists and is a near 1:1 drop in replacement.

It’s current only real problem is the servers are overloaded. But it has a self host option to bypass that very problem.

A bigger problem than a technical alternative is convincing all of your friends to switch.

There are multiple other programs that fill a similar niche, but I don’t know I’ll be able to get everyone I know to change over.

I definitely will discontinue using Discord if they deploy this surveillance state bullshit, but a little bit sad over the number of gaming buddies I’ll lose contact with in the process.
