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.

I mean it’s also not federated. That’s got to hurt

[–] ArtificialHoldings@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

They care if the platform is a graveyard, which Federation helps with. that’s my point. Not that most people sit down and literally go “man I just want Federated services.”

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.
