5 steps is too many

  This is actually true now. I set up a mumble voice chat server. It is about 3 steps to set up your login. Nobody would use it. They use discord which is super happy-clicky and logs all messages forever. I predict Discord will be the next FB discussion.

    > Discord will be the next FB discussion. It's already sorta current: Discord's brother-in-spirit Slack is already past the hype and way into the Trough of Disillusionment with more and more people complaining about chat killing their ability to focus at work.

  Sure, but right now it's >20 and can't be encoded in a blog post. I know plenty of people who will take a 5 step alternative to facebook, and then get their friends/family on board with the amortized single step (e.g. sandstorm is single sign on for all services, so once they are on the sandstorm server, they just have to install the app on their phone).
