Fosscord is a free open-source discord compatible chat, voice and video platform
Neither the client nor the server are what makes discord however.<p>What makes discord is the community around it, and the fact that 3rd party sites have decided to support it.<p>Also there's the legal (important for edus, etc) and other support from the Discord people themselves.<p>Gamers aren't going to leave what they already have -why would they? Edus sure as heck won't -who does that leave, a couple of hackers? Maybe?<p>A better approach would have been to:<p>a)Not use Discord's logo in your README.Md FFS<p>b)Build up infrastructure similar to and competitive with Discord's but FOSS oriented<p>c)THEN after b is accomplished, work on a client and a server.<p>Like the many reddit clones that have come and gone (and the slashdot clones before them) this will be a mouse fart into a hurricane
