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

Maybe that’s the strategy: receive an infringement claim and parade it around in the press as evidence that the entrenched player is bullying the new FOSS player.

Bit of advice: it is true that there is no such thing as bad press, but there’s also no such thing as a good lawsuit…

Yeah, they even use the new Discord logo throughout the entire application, in fact this whole thing looks like a really weird scam or phishing site. I have no question about the tech, or how good it is, but aligning itself so close is suicide and worrisome.

That logo is a trademark infringement suit waiting to happen.

All I see is a bunch of entitled people butting in and demanding accommodations.

They were rightly told to "fuck off".

Those commenters were incredibly rude and entitled. I would not have been as patient as the maintainers.
