Hiya again!
I am just starting out a Discord community (less than 30 "members" including bots) cause that's where the Minetest Community generally lives at, it's mass marketing and so on.
But I am considering to kick it up and notch and look at bridging the two together as a sorta "federated" communication platform of our own.
So I would like to ask the Guilded community at large (particularly if you are/were a Discord user/admin). If we could be filled in with this.
Firstly is this comparable to Discord to begin with? For instance can I as a discord user and "server" admin pick up Guilded in a jiggy? And would you say it worth the efforts required to bridge over?
Additionally I vaguely heard that Discord bots are able to be used on the platform? Is that true at all? If there is truth to this is this a "1:1" compatibility? Or is recoding would be required and would renders any SaaS styled bots useless on Guilded? Mainly the reason I am concerned about this is I am concerned about SFW grade automatic moderation (removing NSFW/NSFL contents mainly), suspicious members' detecting, global ban list as "early detection system" and invites' tracking for marketing reasons (NON rewarded for).
Finally what is the $$$ (if there is recurring please note if it monthly/annually/etc) if any for Discord class Level 1 perks (we don't care about anything in particular but the Custom Invite Page and the gifed logo)?
I would love to be filled in if this might be something to explore?
This isn't news, there plenty of networks that already does this. You might be just a command away in fact to get a "Player Server" or "Player World" in fact.
Also I hate to break it up to you but that isn't federation, that more like "we provides the connectivity and you do the rest". Not that much different than saying using your own web server with a CDN network.
