Well, just glancing at it, it isn’t discord. It doesn’t connect to discord servers at all.
What it does is replicate discord, in a way that allows users to still make use of things that discord users are already into. Bots in particular.
So discord won’t have access to anything that goes on at all, unless you’re using something that also connects to discord.
Pop-ups and fake notifications would have more to do with the client you’re using than the back-end would, so if you use a client that does those things, I wouldn’t bet on that changing.
The caveat: I’m no dev of any kind, so I can’t say anything about the actual code, I’m basing this on their own description. I linked the page to my cousin that sometimes will give a quick scan for hinky shit for me, but there’s no telling if or when he’ll do so nd get back to me.

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.

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.

Neat!

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

Same API, then?
