Real-time voice (WebRTC)
    - Channels can be restricted using roles
    - Users can be muted, user can self mute, join and leave a channel
Friend system
    - Friend requests can be sent to other users
    - Users can be blocked
    - Friends are listed when creating invites with the ability to directly send invites to servers during their creation
Discoevry system
    - Servers can be set as discoverable, if set as such users will be able to join without an invite
User Proivacy System
    - Users may allow direct messages from server members without being friends
    - Users can be messaged directly from a users profile within server

All real time activities are enabled via websockets, events are dispatched via the rest server to a NATs server, websocket instances consume specific message queues and listen for specific events, the payloads for these events are pushed to clients based on either the provided user ids or the provided role ids, base server events e.g. channel updates (renaming, adding/removing roles) and server updates such as new roles, server properties etc. are sent only to the default role for the server which means all users that are members of that specific server recieve these events.
