RE: mastodon.social/@verge/1160410

Let's imagine I have like 2 or 3 reasons to be using discord today, and I'm trying to move them to something else in the next few weeks because I don't intend to give discord my ID.

The other comparable monolithic option appears to be Zulip, which is fine, as far as it goes. But are there good federated options? People are going to have to migrate to another platform, meaning they will have to bootstrap their identity and social connections all over again. It would be great if this was the last time they had to do that

(I'm aware of matrix, matrix is a bad option. I want good options)

What I think is *really* important in a discord replacement:

1. low friction invite/join/create flow for private or semi-private groups.
2. single login/identity used for multiple groups

And that's really all I need, personally. But orgs that make heavier use of discord also need:

3. enough control over roles and permissions to be able to moderate communication (within a group, not across groups) among people who often do not know each other
