Completely beside the point. The comment you’re replying to was simply questioning the headline.

OP implies that the devs were the ones who wrote the headline though. They clearly stated that it is not (yet) a sound alternative to Discord.

The About section of the repo literally says "A private, p2p alternative to Slack and Discord built on Tor & IPFS ".

So the dev(s) are indeed claiming it's an alternative to both Slack and Discord.
