Fosscord was an open-source, self-hosted communication platform that served as an alternative to Discord. It allowed users to have complete control over their data and infrastructure while providing similar features to Discord.

Overview
Fosscord was developed as a response to the growing demand for a self-hosted alternative to Discord, a popular communication platform widely used by gaming communities and online social groups. Fosscord aimed to provide users with the ability to host their own communication servers, giving them full ownership and control over their data.

Features
Fosscord offered a range of features that were comparable to those found in Discord. These features included text and voice chat functionality, file sharing, user management, and channel organization. The platform aimed to replicate the user experience of Discord while offering users the option to host the service on their own infrastructure.

Successor: Spacebar
Fosscord was succeeded by a platform called "Spacebar." Developed by an independent team of developers, Spacebar aimed to build upon the foundation laid by Fosscord. It inherited the self-hosted and open-source nature of Fosscord while introducing new features and improvements. Spacebar offered enhanced customization options, improved performance, and expanded integration capabilities with other platforms and services.

Privacy and Security
