This is the post from Harmony, which has some more information, and was made with a bit more time
its not spacebar but its related, fermi was once a spacebar client. but due to spacebar management and weird lies from them around AI (they were dismissive about AI usage). harmony was made (spacebar fork) with the goals of actually fixing the bugs and glitches and instances problems spacebars still have.

Do you know how does it compare to stoat.chat? I was looking to self host something recently, and landed on stoat.chat.
atm its kinda better than stoat since development doesnt take much time, unlike sotat which are horribly slow to fix bugs and implement features.
also (kinda unrelated) harmony have better moderation than stoat which had pretty messed up things happens in the mod team plus them still enforcing OSA since they are in the uk.
keep in mind federation isnt ready atm on harmony.

Did they go back on the CLA? I’d more readily point out their proprietary software on their gitlab, and their general lack of commitment to FOSS. They made a newly fully proprietary gif service and whatnot, which is just weird for an org promoting FOSS.

They’re doing it because they require a Developer Certificate of Origin from contributors in order to mitigate legal liability. Which is probably smart, it’s good to cover your bases when you take on the likes of Discord, who would love to be given an opening to sue and/or obtain a cease & desist on copyright grounds.
