@mirlo thinks #federation is the answer:

“We’re trying to federate #music marketplaces and music distribution platforms (..) if the instance that hosts your music starts to do things you don’t like, you should be able to transfer your data, and not lose anything”

I notice that the @Discourse forum at the.socialmusic.network now has a chat feature. Is this a standard feature, an official plugin, or a feature bolted on by someone in the community? Are there are plans to allow people to interact with Discourse chat rooms using an XMPP/ Matrix account?
