RE: Another Reason Hive Needs To Break It's Discord Addiction
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
There already is the sting chat thing, but it probably wouldn't be too difficult to make something using the user meta (login, following, communities) and make a hybrid web2/3 app for chat. I don't see an easy or worthwhile way to save all the chat transcripts to the chain which is why I suggest something hybrid. (my micro i released this morning is hybrid)

That sounds like it's got potential !
To me, Web3 is about the ownership model rather than the level of technical decentralisation. I appreciate that's probably slightly wrong and highly simplified, but the view I take is that if it's primarily owned by it's users and (more relevant) can't be controlled by a corporation or government, it's Web3.
For an in-house Discord replacement, I don't know whether anything posted would be significant enough to need to be stored forever on the blockchain - perhaps Hive Engine could be an option instead, or even just a bunch of servers doing data storage. From a user perspective, what's going on behind the scenes is less important than the functionality, reliability and user-friendliness.
The hard bit is probably to get enough of a critical mass of users that it becomes a default communication method in the way people currently default to Discord.
That seems to have been the issue with "the sting chat thing" mentioned by @thecrazygm (now called PeakD Chat). In fact, I've just popped back in there. And it saddens me to see the tumbleweed. But it still works brilliantly. So it seems like the best starting point for a Discord replacement.
My problem is that I'm not much of a chatter. So I can't judge what PeakD Chat lacks when compared to Discord. But I will resolve to at least look at PeakD Chat each day. Even though I might not actually get chatting.
