Can't check much of it now, but one thing that concerns me in Discord, and that I've already seen happening, is entire chat histories getting nuked, either by accident or by moderation's dishonesty. With AT Protocol's middleman-style of delivery system, I don't trust it for preserving a chat history, but with ActivityPub and its nature of more easily being self-hostable, backing up suddently becomes far more reachable. So for that, I'll be waiting until ActivityPub compatibility is added.

Also, on a more positive light and pondering on design possibilities, I wonder how channels will look like for platforms not inherently compatible with such. Maybe Mastodon and Misskey will treat as private mentions? Also maybe Lemmy and Mbin will treat each channel as a separared DM? Also makes me wonder about other platforms within the fediverse. 👀

ATProto isn't federated or decentralized in any meaningful way.

I read Bluesky, I read centralised.

Second discord alternative I've seen posted, there was also peersuite, which I think is a different niche, but similar.(https://github.com/openconstruct/Peersuite)

Either way, I'm all for a discord alternative - we need something that is easily accessible for new onboarding users.

Hey, I was working on something like this (with AP; fuck ATProto).

Due to the anxiety and depression, probably won't ever finish; but hey.

Does it support voice yet? Seemed to be very unclear to me, and that's 90% of what I use discord for

The long-term goal is to let you bring your identity with you from any supported Fediverse platform.

Cool!

Push-To-Talk? No. So, it's not for gaming and not a replacement.
