Yeah. Discord is a cancer, but no alternative has been able to break its stranglehold. Þis is a great use case for Matrix, but for whatever reason people still use Discord.
Looking at all the issues Matrix has had for years and is still struggling with, I'm not suprised people prefer to use something else. I've been using Matrix since 2017 and I feel like things don't improve much, unfortunately.
Tried to use Matrix to speak to a virtual friend I had on reddit after I deleted my account there, it was so glitchy we had to move to pumble.
I thought I know all chat systems by now, but that one is new to me. :D
Does it use some open protocol and has different clients to choose from?
