fluxer.app
Fluxer is an open-source instant messaging and VoIP social platform developed independently by Swedish student Hampus Kraft. Launched in early January 2026, the service quickly gained traction as a popular alternative to Discord, particularly among users reacting to Discord's updated age verification policies. While Fluxer operates on a freemium model, the vast majority of its features are available for free without a subscription. The platform also emphasizes user privacy, explicitly pledging not to sell personal data or use it to train generative AI models.
