Yeeah… Noble effort, really. Except people don’t give enough of a shit to actually move.
I’ve arranged for a Matrix space and Teamspeak server to be used for my friend Discord of about 100 people. 10 registered and 0 actually use the Matrix.
The bridged Matrix channel is only used for lighthearted spam from the Discord side.
The Teamspeak got like 6 registrations and 0 active users.
Most people won’t budge until they see the ID verification screen, and some not even then.
I don’t think making these other programs optional is going to work to migrate a community. You can’t say to your football team that you’re gonna start playing basketball and be disappointed when they don’t come with you.
If the discord and matrix server was fully bridge then maybe you’d are a bit more success as the community would be less fractured. If you’re friends don’t want to move from discord, and you really don’t want to be in discord, that’s a tough situation for you be in.
I have a discord with 14 friends that we’re abandoning. I created a Root community (yeah, not open source or self hosted, but it’s what I can do) and we’ve had 7 move over in the last month. The rest have 2 weeks before the discord gets deleted …

Delete the discord.
