## What it is
Fluxer is a free and open source instant messaging and VoIP chat application for friends, groups, and communities, offering text, voice, video, screen sharing, and moderation tools. It can be fully self-hosted under the AGPLv3 license with no license keys or feature-gated editions.

## Use cases
- self-host a chat server for my community
- voice and video calls with screen sharing for my group
- run a Discord-like community with channels and roles
- moderate a chat with roles, permissions, and audit logs
- host my own messaging app without license keys
- chat with friends across desktop, mobile, and browser

## When to choose
- you want a self-hostable, fully open source chat and VoIP platform
- you need communities with organized channels, roles, and moderation tools
- you want voice, video, and screen sharing built in
- you want to switch between multiple instances with the same apps

## When to avoid
- you need enterprise SSO/compliance features out of the box
- you prefer a managed hosted service without running infrastructure
- you need a lightweight embeddable chat widget rather than a full chat app
