fosscord VS jitsi

Although not written in Rust, Fosscord would be a great self-hosted replacement to Discord. But it's currently in very early stages of development so not yet production ready.

Just use Fosscord

- Fosscord, something thats trying to replicate Discord, open source (their client as of now is just Discord, I recommend) - Matrix, a decentralized federated chat network. - Guilded, owned by Roblox (known for horrendous moderation and support) but overall a good platform. - Telegram, requires a phone number (but takes VOIP), I've used it before. Definite hub for gore/scams but as long as you know what to avoid, it's alright

I believe you can do it with Fosscord but from my understanding it's not ready yet.

Also fosscord is a nice discord clone

hey have you heard of fosscord? it lets you run your own backend instances of discord, and it uses a slightly modified client to use the backend instead

Hopefully they can improve performance: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi/issues/470

- Jitsi (Java)

As for other licenses, you must check them individually. "Open source" has lots of meanings and sub-branches, so you must pay attention to the fine details. Jitsi, for instance, allows you to do anything with their code – including commercial use: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi/blob/master/LICENSE

What if it's a software only project that you are creating out of an open source project? For example if I use the code for Jitsi to make my own telephone app with a twist, will I be unable to sell the app?
