Discord have belatedly confirmed that they're working with Persona, an identity detection firm backed by a fund directed by Palantir chairman Peter Thiel.
I worry about it being a single dev. Feels like that’s going to be a lot of pressure and could cause trouble scaling the platform to accomodate for a growing userbase. That said, the more I read about Fluxer, the more I’m convinced it could be the most fitting contender to actually replace Discord, and not just be an alternative.
E2EE and federation are both in the roadmap, and if it gets those, you’d have the conveniences and bells and whistles of a Discord like app, with the security and freedom from interference of an app like Matrix. To me that sounds like the app a lot of us have been dreaming of.
Right now it’s still just a pipe dream, especially with just one dev, but I’m hoping if it picks up in popularity that maybe it has a chance of coming to fruition.
