    Discord over Matrix. The range of features plus the style of the client. I like soundboard and emotes. its easy to setup a server and invite people.

      At the start of the pandemic Discord had the killer feature unmatched: active voice room discovery. You could see where people where, and how many were talking at a glance before you joined a room.

      That’s the single most useful feature of discord, but recently element integrated jitsi rooms and showed active participants. I think matrix is now good enough “enough” to replace discord.

      I find a lot of admins forget or neglect bridges which can be frustrating

      Yeah I feel the same way. I just can’t get any matrix client to give me the same experience I get with discord. I know they’re two different programs, and that if I started with matrix, discord would be weird, but still. It’s annoying

        While that is true, that’s also not what people mean when they say ‘servers’ in this context. No of course they’re not actual servers, but that’s what they’re called and I don’t think anyone is under the impression they’re actually servers

          They are actually called guilds. Whoever started calling them servers needs to be cursed to hell.

            Internally they are called guilds, but “publicly” they’re called servers. When you interact with the API you use guilds, but the Discord client itself doesn’t use that term - it only uses “Server” as far as I can see.
