I seem to recall the one for Root was particularly bad, can't remember for the others.

I still remember my rather embarrassing attempts at learning K-Style back in the day. I learned a tiny bit, enough to actually have an advantage against the pray-and-sprayers that didn't yet know about it, but I was absolutely trash against any experienced player.

Was a blast though, part of me is tempted to check it out again, but I imagine there's fewer noobs to practice against and it's mostly more skilled players now.

Oh yeah I was looking at Fluxer too, though haven't made an account yet.

In the "What's coming next" section on the website it mentions opt-in E2EE. So maybe it is actually on the roadmap? Unless the listed features aren't actually on the roadmap or I'm misunderstanding.

I hope it is anyway, I accepted no E2EE with Discord just because every single person I knew was using it, but I'm crossing my fingers to not have to make that compromise again if possible.

I'll probably give Fluxer a try as well then and give all three a go and see which one sticks, hell maybe I'll end up on more than one.

I've made Stoat and Matrix accounts.

Matrix because it seems like the most logical choice - largest platform that's federated/decentralised and has end-to-end encryption.

Stoat because realistically being more similar to Discord I know more users are going to go there. So I thought I'd hedge my bets. Just hope it also gets end-to-end encryption, the lack of that on Discord was always one of my gripes with the platform.
