stoat.chat but with federated identity (login) and a multi-instance client (one client unifying data from multiple backends).

Just those two features. Add those two things and you get viable distributed Discord.

@lina Nah, I'm good with XMPP and Matrix (also with Telegram).
@jimedrand @lina Maybe, but most people aren't and we are looking for accessible alternatives. I use Matrix with a friends/family group. I would *not* want to support it for the 600+ users of my photography discord.
