@be_far@social.treehouse.systems Bluesky/Fedi is a completely different problem. These are public interaction platforms, that's how you end up with "good" federation but jank/discoverability issues (fedi) vs. "bad" federation but a better experience (bsky).
Discord doesn't have that problem. You simply don't need content federation at all. You just need to solve the "having to sign up in different servers" problem and identity federation solves that.

@lina@vt.social I see. The one UX hole in this would be that to join your friend’s space that was created on another hosting, you have to sign in again. (The Gitlab problem.) Unless you’re storing your token client side and the app handles all the authentications with additional data sources. But then how do your different clients know what spaces you’re in? There would need to be some state that is updated and passed back to the identity server.
