It would be another tool, one that can be developed before it becomes vital. What if Discord ends up being bought next month? Or banned in certain countries? At the moment, Hive's social structure, to a large extent, relies on an outside, centralized entity. And may I add, one where we don't know the team?

Obviously, we would all meet here on the platform if there was a Discord Apocalypse, but it would be a real scramble to get a lot of behind the scenes stuff done. I guess we would have to resort to Skype or a Jabber service until something could be worked out.
