Open Source Discord

Hi, I just wanted to ask how many of you guys are tired of Discord and the trash features they added. As a gamer, I remember how discord was a good platform for talking and hanging out but it's been a long time from that feeling so I made my own discord, I used to live in ultra restricted country ( not north korea) and when they start blocking discord all of us needed to immigrate to either TeamSpeak or Steam voice chat but these two also have some flaws; for example, TeamSpeak is an old app even the new one (Teamspeak 5) has some grandpa UI that not anyone enjoy it top on that you can't share or easily share files. So I made my own Discord/TeamSpeak clone. I hated that public Discord clone has a lot of complicated server setup. I wanted something that I don't need to set up for an hour, and it's also easy to work with, same as Discord but nothing complicated. Would this app be interested for you? also it's opensource

That's a nice project, but it differs from my app in a few small ways. The first and biggest difference is that the whole app is built on Flutter and Rust, so without the Chromium engine, the client's PC uses less memory. Then, on the server, I also used Rust, so more performance. I also implemented a built-in music player so the server owner can link a lavalink server, and it converts lavalink stream directly to the voice chat, so no more bots or annoying things

What do you think? Is it worth it?

Fluxer is the best one.
