Fluxer reports high influx of new Brazilian users after Discord was forced to disable screen sharing and webcams in Brazil (translation in the post body)

Hello!
Our voice servers in Brazil are currently a bit overloaded due to the large increase in the number of new Brazilian users joining the platform.
We sincerely appreciate your patience while we work to resolve the issues causing high latency. In the meantime, if you’re experiencing difficulties, you can try connecting to the US West or Chile voice regions. The Chilean servers are stable and may offer good latency for users in Latin America.

sadly Matrix has lot to do and can't keep up (such a bummer) aaaand Fluxer still is pretty untested (time will build trust) but already offers so much Features, Accessability (promises for fediverse if i'm right?) and much more…
that's quite scary how fast and good the development there is compared to Matrix and all the clients out there. hope they won't sell and pull the Skiff-move.
kindaa wish i hadn't waited for the fluxer lifetime plan, thought i write the guy an email if he can reserve a place in Mid-Feb. (when it got sold out), so i could make myself a b-day gift 🤣 never got a reply and well the money ended up somewhere else as a treat for myself.
happy to see that people move even tho it sadly is forced, but whoaaa, really cool to seee
btw the android client works pretty smooth, quite flabbergasted
I'm waiting for the updated self hosted guide/code but plan on doing some testing then. I'll pay if we switch over to it.
I'm glad to see Fluxer development chugging along. I still have high hopes for this becoming the defacto Discord replacement eventually.
