The lack of voice channels is huge for something that looks like it is trying to be a discord alternative. I really can’t believe it still isn’t really implemented.
Honestly though even setting aside the lack of voice channels there is a bigger issue. Getting people to switch to something like matrix. I have so much trouble trying to get my group to switch to ANYTHING new. Tried to get them to switch from iMessage to telegram or signal. They tried it for a day and then went back. Getting them to switch from razer comms to discord was even a removed back in the day. People just don’t like trying new things.
Sorry for the rant I just find this endlessly frustrating. Lol.
Calling other people’s work embarrassing is easy when you’re not the one building or contributing to the codebase. Implementing voice chat is no easy task, and it’s all done voluntarily in people’s free time.
Matrix Spaces are broken enough. Even Conduit doesn’t support that feature. Don’t expect Matrix to fully resemble Discord, not even Cinny. Matrix is meant for secure conversations.
I feel your pain. I once wanted to guide my buddies away from WA and had them in a Telegram group. And you know what the comment was? ‘Boring, nothing happening here.’
That’s like complaining that nothing happens in a phone booth… everyone, except for me, went back to WA. 🤷
