Hai! This idea of federation is pretty interesting. I'm interested to see the communities that emerge.
Late 1990's/early 2000's or so (for a few years) I ran an IRC server as part of a larger network, so I get the appeal of running smaller/niche instances.
@sean I love IRC, but Discord has made a really decent replacement what with how easy it is to go between text and voice chat, while also being organized by servers related to your interests or niche groups.
@Lohenglamm "Discord - Free Voice and Text Chat for Gamers" is right in their title. Seems very game community centric... correct or just bad/old marketing on their part? I don't voice chat a lot, so perhaps not a good fit for me personally. Sounds cool though.
@sean You don't have to use it for gaming, they just target that market. I have one set up for my work that just myself and a coworker go into for the voice chat.
