Hi!

I've been trying to figure out what a web based fan club looks like in 2026.

I very nearly went with an 80s BBC + an IRC door + a Discord < - > IRC bridge but no matter how much I talk about it, I can't bring myself to let Discord own my primary communication platform with the majority of our community.

I won't endorse them, even tacitly.

And so now I'm back to exploring how we do this on the open web.

And I don't know! I don't have a good answer.

This is a thread.

I've been using fluxer, an open source Discord clone.
