“reaching feature parity “ sounds nice on paper.
In reality the customers switching from discord have a strong enough reason to do this to take risk, endure the pain of a new app that doesn’t have standard pattern of email login, and has a bunch of other novelties that no one has heard of outside our bubble.
The core jobs to be done are find my people, associate with my people, talk with my people. From this lens, the difference between flotilla and discord is the gulag.
Everything outside the core JTBDs else is bells & whistles.

For each type of community there are certain features that are deal breakers not to have.
For instance:
- Not having the "delete all messages" function when banning a user is a non-starter for any discord community with public access, not having that would make managing spam impossible.
- Not having role based access control makes managing communities with more than a hundred users painful instead of fun.
- Not having message retention systems makes use of Flotilla by companies impossible.
- Not having voice channels with push to talk means gaming communities can't use Flotilla.
Just some examples. I am not asking for complete feature parity, I am talking the features that make Flotilla a non-starter. It isn't actually that many features that are necessary to make it good enough.
