Why wouldn't people want to run them in a browser? Running an Electron app is literally just running them in a browser, it's just that the browser is disguised as not a browser.

It's unnecessary bloat. They're cross-platform because I hey are literally just webapps masquerading as actual programs.

You... use Discord for this stuff? Communities around interests? I wouldn't have thought to use it for that. I only use it to comm with my buddies while we play games. 🤷‍♂️

getting people you know to switch to something different or more privacy respecting isn't always the easiest. Believe me, I've tried.

I feel you. I just told my bros I'm not using Discord, so if they want to talk it's either Steam voice chat or Fluxer. Thankfully they jumped on board. (Very difficult to play Rocket League well at higher levels without voice comms.)

Ah, cool! Thank you! 🙏 Very neat. Wonder if Stout can do that. Seems like it can't from my initial, quick investigation.

Maybe I'm confused here but if you're seriously questioning whether you'd benefit from a smaller, Swedish based service over an American tech giant (unsure if this term applies to Discord in all honesty) - for starters you have the Swedish laws/consumer rights, GDPR. This company's whole idea also seems to resolve around being 'basically like Discord' - but without all the aggressive data collection, fingerprinting users, storing messages, and profiting from users data. I also took a quick look at the ToS and PP and it seems pretty solid what their ideals seems to be, or what they want to advertise themselves as. But hey, I bet using a US tech giant company with its entire business model focused on making a profit from user data in the year 2026 is just as good for data privacy respecting laws and regulations as any other!

Do whatever you want, bro. 😄 I'm proud of my guys at Fluxer, fighting the ugly Discord.

Matter of fact imma uninstall Discord when I get back home in a couple of hours.

Fluxer has been everything I need it to be in order to switch. Just saying. And what I use it for is basically just voice chat while gaming. No complaints thus far. Do with that what you will.

bro how are you gonna enforce that? "Oh you must have never used an LLM to learn, investigate or try it!!!" is just silly, as long as no AI is used for the actual code that is fine

It MUST NOT author any part of a submission.

Yeah, and that's still slop.

😂👍 I don't think we'll see eye to eye here. gg, have a good day.

Investigated file size limits, and my conclusion is that stoat has a 20 MB file size limit, and fluxer's is 25 MB. 🤷‍♂️ I don't know about character limits, and I don't need to know because I never post long messages because I don't treat this app as a bulletin board.

You seem pretty set though, so enjoy your freedom to choose whichever platform you like, that is subjectively better for you. 🙂

Just found out Fluxer intends to add federation soon as well, which seems like a one-up on other platforms? I don't think Stout has that unless I'm misunderstanding what Stout is built on.
