Comment on GitHub - spacebarchat/spacebarchat: 📬 Spacebar is a free open source selfhostable discord compatible communication platform

Decentralized (no abuse of power and doesn’t have a single point of failure)

There is a direct server though, is it federated? The readme doesn’t say it’s federated at all

It’s not federated, just easy to self host and point custom clients at.

  Are you sure? Because they also seem to be behind Fermi which sounds federated

    Fermi is just a custom client for discord/spacebar. It’s not federated.

  That’s too bad, that’s a hard line for me, it has to have the option of federation.
  
  Also, so it’s a direct server, so it is centralized, there’s nothing decentralized about it

    It is decentralized in the respect that communities run their own servers, in comparison to discord where there is an overarching corporation managing everything

    But that’s not decentralized. It’s the same as discord, only instead of a corporation now you have a server admin.
