The timing with Fluxer is very fortuitous, it's been in development for years but only just got public which is why it seems to have come out of nowhere. I am with you on the money bit, but it comes down to how it gets used. I haven't looked into how transparent the finances are. I understand the need to rustle up money fast in order to scale up development, as a proper Discord competitor needs to be more than a one-man effort. So I'm hoping that's what the money will go to.
I agree that Fluxer is by far the best alternative yet, so I want to be hopeful.
