I don't like them as a company, but If Discord gives a shit enough to invest in the Linux client to capture more users, Linux is on the right track to grow even more. They don't care about Linux current user base. They want the user base of what it can become.

    Same. If only there were another Discord-like client that my friends were willing to use. I tried getting them onto Stoat, but I'm starting to lose faith that Stoat can become the next Discord.

    Try Cinny or Sable (slightly buggier fork of Cinny with more features.) They're Matrix clients that look close enough to discord.

    Moving from discord to fluxer, stoat, etc, is like moving from shitter to bluesky. All centralized platforms will eventually go to shit.

    Not of they are self-hostable...? I don't know what the progress is for Fluxer self hosting, but if it comes through like they have 'promised' then I'm excited for it as the next place to go.

    If by "invest" you mean paying one person a few hours weekly to create an Electron app, then there's already plenty of companies doing that. None of which have declared the year of the linux desktop for it. Or maybe all of them, who knows. It's the decade of the year of the linux desktop.
