I am glad someone can admit it failed and we have to learn from this. I am just wondering what it takes to succeed.
start with a discord clone
make it e2ee
make it federated
i feel like it shouldnt be this hard, but I'm not the one developing matrix, nor XMPP, nor the 3rd smaller option you the reader is wanting me to list that I am unaware of
Don't fucking clone the godaweful mess that is Discord. Please, for the love of God start with something else.
Discord is where people are at. You start with something else you're asking for another Matrix or XMPP because people will not understand a new interface
