Valour is an open-source chat client created by @SpikeViperYT[1].

#AbusedByDiscord campaign

On January 11th 2021, Spike Viper's Discord server was removed by the moderation team.

Several tweets [3][4][5] were made with the hashtag #AbusedByDiscord and Spike rallied his community to spread it on Twitter.

A video was released[6] ("My Community was #AbusedByDiscord"), which presents three main theories on why their server was removed:

  • The moderation team at Discord would prefer to reduce their workload (from dealing with the issues being reported from their server) by just removing the server permanently.
  • They started building an alternative chat platform ("Valour") and subsequently got banned. Though it is noted that their Valour Discord server was not banned. (Editor's Note: This is definitely not a valid theory as both Revolt and Fosscord continue to operate Discord servers without any issue.)
  • Discord had some sort of connection with the doxxer.

This campaign was used to help promote this platform, shortly after Spike also livestreamed Valour development with an overlay "#abusedbydiscord"[7].
