That logo is awfully close to discords. Not only that there are multiple mentions of discord throughout the interface. It looks like this is a fork of some original discord code.
- voakbasda 5y agoMaybe 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…
- drannex 5y agoYeah, 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.
- johntash 5y agoI didn't look too closely at it, but apparently it is just a discord _client_. I'm not sure what the point of having a 3rd party client that is essentially a clone is if you're still using the official servers anyway?
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoFrom briefly looking at their site I'm pretty sure it is both a client for official Discord servers and they also have Discord API-compatible backend it can connect to as well. Which is actually pretty smart
