I think generally more positive than negative, but hesitant. There are so many different competing apps and discord copies that have risen and fallen, it's hard to really get attached to any that have little movement in fighting the network effect.

Seeing it already has the beginnings of enshitification with freemium features, while federation is "in development", particularly in communities like lemmy the question become why pick this over something that already exists and is an open standard?

Like looking at the "plutonium" page, it's clear they want to copy the features of discord nitro, and if we are to fight the network effect fight with the energy of discord's recent fuck up, I would rather land on XMPP or Matrix, if I have any push.

In other words, you are saying that there is too much discord in this space?

Down with discord!

I'm starting a new app called Concordance, and it will only bridge between different apps no matter where they are from 😤

Let me save you a few keystrokes, there's already an app called Matterbridge: github.com/42wim/matterbridge
