Edus sure as heck won&amp;#x27;t -who does that leave, a couple of hackers? Maybe?&lt;p&gt;A better approach would have been to:&lt;p&gt;a)Not use Discord&amp;#x27;s logo in your README.Md FFS&lt;p&gt;b)Build up infrastructure similar to and competitive with Discord&amp;#x27;s but FOSS oriented&lt;p&gt;c)THEN after b is accomplished, work on a client and a server.&lt;p&gt;Like the many reddit clones that have come and gone (and the slashdot clones before them) this will be a mouse fart into a hurricane</text></comment>
