You might have missed it ( because we are all in discord) the new shiney tool created by Steem Engine Tools developer @cadawg he best describes it as, A Chat App, Truly on Steem.

I don't expect everyone to flock away from Discord right away ,but we need to start discussing how we keep some of our engagement inside our own Steem Eco-system. Enter in Decentralised Steem Chat. It's an early Alpha, but gives us a glance of what we all could be doing in the near future.

Like Tribes, we will have ability to establish what I like to call chat tribes . You could "claim" your channel inside the chat perhaps. You could either opt in to have it decentralized ( straight of the chain) , yet mod'd still , or semi-centralized .

You probably could apply some pretty cool rules and reward people accordingly , like the following metrics: daily activity, daily active user time,reputation and may other cool reward rules you could set-up. All this using your own token/SMTs as the reward token.

All this is to help improve the engagement of users on the Steem blockchain. The more of us going to a Steem dapp, vs. another piece of the software like discord the better we are all off.
