Why would the room have to change channels? Discord has channels within.

I'm not looking so much to switch chats so much as synch. Isn't there a way to synch? That way open source and private chats cooperate rather than compete - thus broadening the access.

Also, the Orbit Chat over IPFS is permanent I think. It's neato. But it's beta.

What is the name of your opensource chat app?

I searched : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=synch+opensource+IRC+chat+with+discord+chat

And found : https://mattermost.com/blog/sync-chat-systems-with-mattermost/

Near the bottom:

" Discussion

Matterbridge, a self-hosted Go application, was created by Wim to serve as a bridge between Mattermost and IRC, Gitter, XMPP, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Rocket.Chat, Hipchat (via XMPP), Steam, Twitch, ssh-chat, Zulip and Matrix with REST API.

The open source tool can be installed with a few simple commands.

You can use Matterbridge to migrate users from one of the supported platforms to Mattermost without losing any of your older chats. You can also use it to ensure that employees using an old chat platform can communicate with users on your newly deployed Mattermost instance. "

Join and ask them to interview /u/magnora7 or maybe M7 can ask them himself. I certainly have before. Just did again.

The idea is that as you visit different subs, you are automatically in their IRC channels. Like for the someday/maybe scenario when more people are here and chat in different rooms. I guess it doesn't have to be this way.

Yeah Discord and our chat could be synced. And your finding Matterbridge looks like an easy way to do that. Here's our chat:

I guess if you really wanted to push this forward, you could do a saidit survey and ask if we should switch to Discord or do some kind of hybrid approach. I never really chat aside from on here, so I don't have too strong of an opinion either way.

But you put hours of blood sweat and tears into adopting it. In my ignorant humble opinion, it seems a merge would be better. And luring the Discordians over would be good. It's a HUGE community, though the threads I follow are about the same as this.

It does sound cool but it also sounds like a PITA. Not sure how you'd follow a particular discord channel if there wasn't a corresponding SaidIt channel.

Start one secretly to test on. Lock it down if it's no good.
