This is actually something I was talking to a friend about a few months ago, I would love to see it happen! As for the technology limiting the features, I think eventually that will be overcome.
I also like that the activity could generate funds for the community. I'm certain that many will use it for contests, and to power up curation accounts!
!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL
There are many possibilities and, like anything, if communities pick up the tools, innovation takes over. People start to think of other ideas of how to use things.
What it would take to get something like this going, I have no idea. Also, is it really that important. Some think it is, other do not.
Interesting conversation.

It would be another tool, one that can be developed before it becomes vital. What if Discord ends up being bought next month? Or banned in certain countries? At the moment, Hive's social structure, to a large extent, relies on an outside, centralized entity. And may I add, one where we don't know the team?
Obviously, we would all meet here on the platform if there was a Discord Apocalypse, but it would be a real scramble to get a lot of behind the scenes stuff done. I guess we would have to resort to Skype or a Jabber service until something could be worked out.
