    As far as I can tell, it’s not Discord, but an open source alternative. So I don’t think it talks to regular discord servers, but you can use any Discord compatible client to talk to SpaceBarChat.

      I don’t think it talks to regular discord servers

      So what does “Discord compatible” mean?

      I tried this back when it was “FOSSCORD” and it did indeed connect to Discord.

        It means that clients and bots for Discord will also work with this.

          Which in turn means discord must be able to harvest all the data otherwise it wouldnt be able to connect.

            Discord compatible bots run on whatever server you run them on, they’re not owned or run by Discord.

            It says the client is compatible with both space-bar and discord.com, so yeah, if you use it with discord, expect all the downsides of discord.
