I think the ideal discord-alternative would have a self-hosted instance per community (so a "server" really is a server), but all speaking a shared protocol so you can have them all in the sidebar of a unified client. Then you just need unified identity across all servers... atproto solves this???

We're launching a community server on Discord! It's a space for folks who contribute, build on, or use Bridgy Fed and Bounce, and a place for folks to support each other through any issues they may run into. That said, we know Discord isn't everyone's ideal choice - it's not ours either... 1/🧵

discord.ggThere aren’t any models like this right now built into the protocol. There are a couple of proofs of concept. @brittanyellich.com has some code for communities - thread in ATProto touchers discord.com/channels/1097580399187738645/… Brittany will have better links.
