Fluxer looks like a promising app in the vein of FOSS replacements like Spacebar/Stoat, being a UI inspired by or cloned from Discord. Though seemingly it might lean more towards Freemium than FOSS.
I'm a little confused about the Pricing model, can someone clear this up for me please?
In the monetization model for Fluxer, on the main instance you pay $5/mo to:
-
Unlock limits to things like the number of communities, message character limit, etc that are not limited by default on self hosted instances (?)
-
Get features like "Custom video backgrounds, Custom entrance sounds, Custom notification sounds" that are enabled by default on self-hosted instances (?)
Or is the idea here that if you don't pay the dev $5 you don't get access to certain features in the self-hosted free software like video streaming features? (They are only in beta now)
It's an additional layer of abstraction.
Many games that run on Windows do not perform the same, and sometimes don't run at all on Linux or wine.
Linux enthusiasts used to know what they're talking about instead of pasting wrong info about my own hardware.
