EDIT: apparently this is only on official server, so it's far less shitty

Regarding Fluxer, I'm not a fan of putting a price tag on functionality

    I’m not 100% sure if this is the case, as I haven’t set up a server for it yet. But it seems like that pricing is mostly just for the official fluxer server? I’d be willing to bet that it really just depends on what the server admin configures

    I read the whole blog-style homepage; assuming it's genuine, this guy sounds like a hard working compsci grad trying to make his coursework a breakout product so there's a necessary element of monetization planning. I think it's fine to pay for a service, rather than free but monetise the data and push ads.

    The space is a massive jumble of competing ideals and desires for the replacement right now. Fluxer looks optimistically promising based on the stated desire to be as much of a reverse-engineered open source clone as possible. If that's what the majority want - a simple drop-in replacement - then it'll succeed.

    I came here to share the same but have now learned that the community, non-enterprise model has a strong "copy left" licensing philosophy to ensure the FOSS code remains FOSS code. They do seem like they're doing all the right things, but I am not sure if their license means that contributors need to disclose AI generated code or not.
