Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Fun is the least of my concerns. I don't know why people compare the 2 when they have almost nothing in common. One is a chat app and the other is a voice/streaming/community app. Matrix is slow as hell and the way "spaces" are implemented is a joke.

Honestly outside of the incessant pop-ups and upsells and the whole selling everything to AI companies, it's pretty great for private communities.

Your view of Matrix seems a bit weird. AFAIK I can do all the voice/streaming/community in Matrix as well as it's done in Discord.

Also, no, my server isn't slow. matrix.org might be, I don't know.

I have a Matrix server. I've also used a half a dozen others. Every one of them you have sit there and stare at it for 5-10 secs and watch the messages roll in every time you open the app.
