User blog comment:Kylie Jenner's Secret Baby/Pros and Cons of UCP/@comment-10696822-20200806141122

Allow me to point out a few things that are wrong with this post:

"UCP does not have chat."

It would be nice for the Unified Community Platform to have an on-wiki chat server; however, with all the external chatrooms you can use, I'm afraid that UCP does not really need chat.

"UCP does not have achievements."

...yet! The dev team is finalizing the Badges system right now. It's going to take some time.

"UCP wikis do not have the ability to choose features via Special:WikiFeatures."

You can enable (and disable) features on the Admin Dashboard page via the right rail.

"UCP does not have separate notification icons for messages and discussions, so you can't tell if someone replied to a thread or a discussion unless you go to the thread/discussion."

Threaded forums WILL not be a thing in the Unified Community Platform and message walls are made from Feeds, so the second notification icon is not needed. However, the best alternatives you can use are DPLForums and Discussions.
