Revolt/Stoat is already an FOSS (free open source software), self-hostable, EU-developed, privacy focus alternative of Discord. It's been there a couple of years and have multi-support (Win, Mac,Linux and dev Android/iOS)

So what are the purpose of Fluxer over Revolt/Stoat ?

[โ€“] JustEnoughDucks@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago

If I remember right, this has been quietly in the works for years. It aims to be a 1-1 discord replacement.

Screen sharing/streaming, group video channels, voice channels are a priority, some of which completely do not work at all or very limited in stoat (the last I heard about it). I think that is the difference.

A different focus than matrix or stoat which seem more about being a slack alternative first and then voice/video were thrown in later with YMMV results.

Stoat doesn't allow for voice chat or screen sharing. Dead on arrival.

1 - The name problem, even you don't seem to know whether to call it Revolt or Stoat and they were kinda shady about why they were changing the name until they got enough push back to admit they were being forced. 2 - Pretty sure there was a whole Brexit thing a while back that makes them not "EU-developed" 3 - Ultimately, FOSS is often going to have multiple options for something that a majority of people are looking for, because a majority of people can never agree on what features are most important or how best to implement them. Choices are better, if something does a better job for you, you can use it.
