    Fluxer is shit as it’s not-so-Libre and also asks you to pay for stuff that should be basic and free.

      Apparently if you self host you can have everything be free. Its just on their own instance that has the premium which I think is a good way to fund the project

        Yeah, and you have to pay for the hardware, for the stuff you need for the maintenance, etc., and it comes again to my point: if not everyone can pay for software or for a better hardware, then not everyone can pay for self-host either.

      While I don’t know what the restrictions are on the official fluxer instance, I do think it’s worth noting that if you self host everyone on your instance gets everything for free and you can set the limits for file upload and similar stuff to whatever you want, plus self hosting was pretty easy compared to when I tried it with matrix.
