About Fluxer
Fluxer is an open-source chat platform for friends, groups and communities, built by a small Swedish company and modelled on the Discord experience. It offers one-to-one and group chats, community servers with organised channels, roles and moderation tools with an activity log, and voice channels with screen sharing, camera and noise suppression, served from voice regions around the world. You can use the hosted service or run your own server, and the official apps work with self-hosted instances. The core service is free; an optional Plutonium subscription raises limits such as file upload size and streaming quality, and the project says it has no venture capital, relying on subscribers and donors. It has passed half a million registered users. As a young project, features and apps are still evolving. It suits communities looking for an independent, open alternative to Discord.
Best for: Communities that want an independent, open-source Discord alternative with voice.
