@malcircuit i have this tingling sensation that in a nearby universe #discourse is changing the discourse (or reducing the online discord, pick your pun :-).
We "just" need to somehow tunnel to that universe, either by federating all these instances at the server level, or, maybe easier, at the client level. One of the important usability features of #discord is that you can jump into any of multiple communities with a single click. Actually #matrix offers that too.
