Community Push Onto Discord

[Weapon]

The problem with a lot of Discord replacements is the lack of adequate community management tools. Federated platforms in particular often suffer from this, with poor content removal and moderation options.

I think if we're going to migrate across to a new platform (and it is looking increasingly inevitable that this will eventually happen if Discord carries on as it is), we'd ideally want:

- Channels / groups, and role based permissions.
- Persistent chat history.
- Voice chat and streaming.
- Robust moderation tools, including bans, mutes, slowmodes, etc.
- Extremely low barriers to entry for non-tech savvy users
- Ideally integrated spambot detection.
- Ideally calendar integration for events and announcements.

Probably more stuff, but the first 5 would seem to be essentials.

Stoat appears to already have or be working on all of this, but as @Nika pointed out, it appears to be firewalled in Russia.
