    Does Matrix have problems I'm not aware of as an alternative? Saw they have 115 million accounts compared to Discord's 500 million so its already well tested? Not a user of either service.

    I really want to love Matrix but man, it just feels janky. And this is from someone who likes IRC and XMPP. I can't put my finger on why Matrix just doesn't feel great, that's the most frustrating part. Might be solvable with a decent client. I don't like Element. Quaternion seems nice and simple but keeps crashing on me, and I don't think it handles voice

    Matrix is not a Discord alternative, it's a Slack alternative
