Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I had a random (probably dumb) idea: Given the whole Discord Drama going on, what if there was a Discord alternative, but in the style of Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

Ie similar to how Lemmy allows users to create instances that are federated with each other, only this Discord alternative's instances wouldn't federate with each other.

Instead, each instance would be a complete silo, although instance owners would be given the option to potentially federate their instance outwards (ie to other federated platforms), if they wish.

Perhaps it could potentially be forked from the already existing Lemmy?

Man, everything has to be instant these days. What about readopting the leisurely pace of bulletin boards?
