    The public servers that are just operating on discovery - sure. I have a private Discord with friends I'll be looking to transfer, as well as a community with external intake sources.

    Maybe for this crowd. Almost no services I use aside from email were federated, before I went to Lemmy and Mastodon. And now it's email, Lemmy, and Mastodon. Average users just chasing a good experience don't really care about federation, despite its benefits.

  • Oh true. I think it would be difficult for a chat platform like Revolt to federate correctly with other existing services though. Channel permissions, role permissions, bot functionality - I think it would be difficult to honor this stuff with federation. For example, Matrix and Revolt don't have the same system of role permissions.
