Interesting, seems like this has been around for a while but I haven't heard of it until now. With how much Discord's shitting the fan and becoming (well, always has been) a privacy nightmare, this seems worth a try. The alternatives out there either need time to mature (Stoat) or don't really fill the same role (Matrix).
Huh, like a more disastrous and direct combo-approach. I like it.
You know I didn't even realize I said this and I'm gonna start using this one LMFAO
Spacebar was called Fosscord before. Maybe you have heard of that.
Never heard of it either. Will check out cuz initially sounded like some vibecode app to quickly replace Discord since the news.
It's been around a few years. I investigated it last year. It had a name change some times ago.
I can't vouch for the code quality, but it's too old to be slop.
