Discord have belatedly confirmed that they're working with Persona, an identity detection firm backed by a fund directed by Palantir chairman Peter Thiel.
I’ve moved my friends to fluxer which has way more features and just works.
Obviously this is tougher for large communities, but as of now Fluxer is much further along and more stable than Stoat and easier to understand and use than Matrix (Commet) for non-techies. It also is the most like discord unlike Teamspeak, Mumble, etc.
It also is going to support self hosted soon with a major refactor, is EU based, and seems to have a sustainable donation based model for long term development. I think it’s going to support federation at some point as well, but don’t quote me on that.
Keep us posted on how Fluxer handles, I read their website/github and it looked fairly undercooked and their documentation needs help. The app probably works fine and the main host is likely in for a shock when with the flood of new users and I worry about them, it looks promising.
