What Concord improves

Beyond chat feature parity

Concord is built to fix common community pain points: clearer privacy controls, stronger trust and safety tooling, and responsive customer service for moderators and members.

Self-hostable Concord with federation is coming soon. Federation means independently run Concord servers can interoperate, so communities keep local control while members can connect across trusted servers.
