Show HN: Fosscord – open-source and selfhostable alternative to discord

That logo is awfully close to discords. Not only that there are multiple mentions of discord throughout the interface. It looks like this is a fork of some original discord code.

Whenever I see projects like this I’m always reminded of the first clip of this video of Jonathan Blow talking about open source software. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=XLVjSeusPYg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=XLVjSeusPYg</a>

Some of the (main?) contributors to the project aren&#x27;t exactly nice sounding individuals either..<p>(e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fosscord&#x2F;fosscord&#x2F;issues&#x2F;56" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fosscord&#x2F;fosscord&#x2F;issues&#x2F;56</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fosscord&#x2F;fosscord-client&#x2F;issues&#x2F;22" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fosscord&#x2F;fosscord-client&#x2F;issues&#x2F;22</a>)
