This will be so awesome.

I block fake email registrations and validate all email. @Xon 's addon is great for registrations: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/signup-abuse-detection-and-blocking.6812/ Also useful: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/j-email-check.5753/

As it concerns passing xenforo.com credentials, that's a valid concern. The developer states there are no callbacks and only the API is called. To be certain another developer would need to audit it. Maybe someone from the xenforo staff is willing to chime in? @Chris D ?

You mean a highly fragmented website where each content type is basically a separate mini website for the member to discover? And which setup does not work for the mobile user, which makes up most of our audience? But aside from that I do fully agreee with you. You are right. The functionality...

For 3rd party addons: Version upgrade notification not supported. For official XF Addon: Upgrade notification via core

Like Facebook and Reddit, Discord is basically a clubs system. Members can spin up their own community with a few clicks. Which makes it so appealing.

Discord is already absorbing members and engagement. This may well become a serious challenge similar to Facebook and Reddit. I suspect challenges like this will keep coming. User expectations will change and the bar keeps getting raised.
