As much as I like a lot of the discord alternatives out there I fear they will all eventually face the same fate. Decentralised or someone wrapping the signal protocol into a discord like client is probably the only way to avoid this again.
Fluxer plans federation in the future, and its AGPL licensed.
However, it's still in beta, and the backend's ability to scale is currently unproven.
For something that's more proven, we have Movim, which is already federated with the open standard XMPP protocol.
Well I mean Fluxer is open source and have self hosting options on their roadmap. 🤷♂️
