They seem to have pulled the room.
Did something happen to the Fluxer community? It's suddenly gone from my list (with no "!" outage symbol, just gone) along with the second one that was established for ApexSync. Curious where else to follow the community while ApexSync is still in development.
I'm assuming they acted rash and emotionally when they decided to make their own platform, and realized the task was too big for them to shoulder, so they went nuclear. It's not just the fluxer stuff, at least one of them also deleted their socials.
I think them deleting their apexsync discussion server before the release date (so people have no chance to switch over if they forget the name) is proof that the project has died. Or at least isn't planned to release any time soon after all.
Apparently Fluxer is moving the infrastructure to a better one so sometimes outages are to be expected..Rome wasn't build in 3 days
No, they're pointing out that the server this post is about got deleted.
The admins got annoyed by Fluxer's stability issues and announced they'd be developing their own activitypub platform instead to compete with fluxer, leading to them neglecting the Fluxer server this post is about.
Then, both the fediverse server and the one about their alternative got deleted. At least one of the admins also deleted their Mastodon.
heck I go away 1 day and nukes get thrown
Bummer, I was enjoying the community.
I still dont understand. Why not Matrix based Element or Continuwuity?
Because Matrix has got to many inconsistencies and it's too complicated for the average user. Sometimes e2e encryption breaks chat history, the official instance is slow and, most of all, there is NO native support for video calls and screen sharing. Element just uses Jitsi Meet In a chromium wrapper
I belive the native support piece is recently out of date info: https://element.io/blog/exploring-matrixrtc-real-time-communication-in-rooms/
Because no-one is using it
But that is more true of any newer system
Right, but Matrix has been around for a while and yet its only use is to be a hub for tech-related projects and support rooms. How would you propose we somehow get people using it?
Thats mostly a UX piece not a backend thing to me. Matrix RTC is a huge step to me, but discord is just voice channels for me.
I want to check commets voice chats myself
I was hoping for a decentralized version of discord ever since they started requiring phone numbers.
We really do be needing a fancy xmpp client with voip with mumble or something else. Especially if https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0503.html gets stable and implemented. I do not use xmpp, but I dont understand why it does not get the same love matrix or even irc gets. (in terms of being an alternative)
The clients for XMPP are really bad. Also, matrix sells itself in a variety of ways, discord alternative, corporate usability, e2ee signal replacement, all that. Although matrix client implementations aren't that great, the publicity does work. And IRC has historic relevance.
Is Fluxer US based though?
No, why ask this instead of just looking it up? It's Swedish.
Thank you
