Ok guys, help a dev out. I'm an awful marketer — hopefully I'll get some real help on this soon, but in the meantime, what are the highest leverage suggestions you have to catch the Discord wave that I can execute on right now? Flotilla is like 90% stable, which needs to improve, but it's enough to start catching early adopters. I can't really market myself as having feature parity with Discord (RBAC and voice chat are required), and Flotilla's trajectory is slightly different than just a Discord clone. But with Discord's market share and the level of annoyance people are showing with it, I figure if I can catch just a fraction of a percent of the outflow it'll be a pretty large number.
