Due to the recent ongoing events with #Discord, I have been looking at #Fluxer as an alternative platform. It's quite interesting.
I have created a community for Principia on Fluxer, mostly as an experiment for now. Join if you like Principia or just want to try Fluxer! You can join the server right away without an account, just like the good old days of Discord before they shoved phone number verification onto everyone.

Arkanix Stealer targets a variety of data, offers a MaaS referral program
Arkanix Stealer, a newly discovered malware operating under a Malware-as-a-Service model, targets a wide range of user data including cryptocurrencies, gaming, and online banking information. The stealer, available in both Python and C++ versions, offers configurable features and employs various techniques to evade detection. It can extract data from multiple browsers, VPNs, and gaming platforms, as well as capture screenshots and RDP connection details. The malware authors promoted their product through a Discord server and implemented a referral program to attract customers. The campaign appears to have been short-lived, with infrastructure taken down around December 2025.

TIL: if you paste a large screenshot directly into Discord, it gets sent as inline base64 data — not a file attachment. So mediaMaxMb size limits don't catch it.
Result: 8MB of base64 injected straight into your LLM context. Session bricked. 💀

«Is End-to-End Encryption Optional For Large Groups?
One of the recent topics in Messaging App Discourse is whether it makes sense to prioritize End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) when searching for an alternative to Discord.»
— by @soatok.blog
Encryption rarely has anything to do with secrecy, but with the reality of the source and the trust in their data.

Moving away from discord and that made me think of what kind of communities and alternatives might be out there.
I am curious, are there any notable peer-to-peer communities / social networks?
I still think fondly back to the Soulseek times and how cool it was to find wild new music artitsts. I kinda like the idea of sharing and exchanging ttrpg projects in that manner, but maybe also with a framework to engage in conversations?
How #OpenAI, #Discord, the US #government, and Persona built an identity #surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona
Discord chiede selfie o documenti a 200 milioni di utenti per dimostrare che sono adulti. Gli utenti, non Discord.
Il provider scelto è finanziato dal cofondatore di Palantir Technologies, l'azienda che costruisce sistemi di sorveglianza di massa per l'ICE americana. Peraltro l'anno scorso un breach ha esposto 70.000 documenti personali, quindi perché non chiederne ancora di più?
E un pezzo importante di questa storia sta in questo signore qui, Peter Thiel, nuovo villain nel pantheon del podcastone.

I will be shutting down my Discord server in the next days. The Egoventure community support will continue on Signal: https://signal.group/#CjQKICTEs0uVxqkwRNhDgzW4Jk61u9vRVJQXgYvmb5B1hU5cEhC4Zvf8OrLfHtBehrqJTP8a (at least for the time being)
After that I'll also delete my Discord account finally, which I wanted to do anyway for quite a while.
I have been on #Discord for exactly ten years as of this post.
I have been on it actively as it has gradually morphed from the remarkably less obnoxious replacement to Skype, teamspeak, & #IRC eninently into a wholly terrible #Palantir privacy nightmare owned by greedy #microsoft
A crying shame when a perfectly usable and well-used platform descends into such a messed-up mangle of what it once was.

Anyone have any good alternative recommendations? I use it a lot for indie game community stuff.
I hope Discord reverses course. This effort to essentially track everyone everywhere all the time is only going to end poorly & is a slap in the face of the spirit of the internet - open collaboration & communication, a global lab & town square. These billionaire pedo baby eaters are trying to control everything. The good news is that these efforts usually backfire & return to sanity usually happens. #internet #privacy #discord
I'm finally working on a Oliville Stoat server to go alongside the Oliville Discord Server.
TRANScenders on the other hand already has it's Stoat server open and ready for people to join.
For those who don't know TRANScenders is a 21+ only server dedicated to older Trans/Nonbinary people!

Oh yeah I also made a 88x31 button for Stoat to use my website. Anyone else is welcome to use it as well!
