    Sounds very promising, but

    Currently, Fosscord is still in development and we can't say when we will be able to release fosscord completely.

    Still, certainly one to keep an eye on

    @jdaviescoates I think that's referencing the overall project completeness of which there are many parts, however the self-hostable server is ready and their web-client can connect to both fosscord server and discord.

      Does sound good — thankful the world has enough pissed-off smart people to keep challenging centralisation.

            @girish The better and more mature option would be Revolt which is on the forum here:

                  @robi

                  Here is what Claude Sonnet 3.1 has to say about Revolt vs Spacebar. The last paragraph was more interesting than usual. It mentions which information it would specifically like to know to help its assessment.

                  " I can discuss what I know about Revolt and Spacebar as Discord alternatives based on my knowledge cutoff in April 2024:
                  Revolt:

                  Open-source platform with a similar UI to Discord
                  Built with Rust and modern web technologies
                  Focuses on user privacy and data control
                  Supports custom clients and self-hosting
                  Has federation features in development
                  More mature codebase with active development

                  Spacebar:

                  Newer project that aims to be API-compatible with Discord
                  Allows using existing Discord clients
                  Written in TypeScript/Node.js
                  Also supports self-hosting
                  More focused on Discord compatibility than novel features

                  Without being able to check the current state of these projects, I should note that my assessment of their comparative status may be outdated. Could you share some current details about their development status, feature sets, or user bases to help provide a more up-to-date comparison?
                  I'm particularly interested in hearing about:

                  Current active user counts
                  Feature parity with Discord
                  State of federation/decentralization features
                  Community engagement and development activity"

                    Wow. Looks just like Discord (obviously deliberate copy) but based on Matrix (and ActivePub?). Admire the aims:

                      @marcusquinn It is a bit tricky to get the client installed...
