I'm more interested in a server side reimplementation than a new client. When discord goes out of business I don't want to lose everything so I want to be able to redirect discord requests to my own server.

In this scenario you'd be losing all your backlogs and user registrations anyways, so why re-use the existing client with a stapled-on redirector over switching to something you can actually deploy yourself?

The client is actually pretty good, so we could continue using that and I believe that for popular discords with lots of fans it wouldn't be the end of the world to have them re-register if everyone knew the alternative is losing the community.
