Why does this community, which is privacy oriented, use Discord rather than Matrix? (lemm.ee)

On the side bar it lists the following:

[Matrix/Element]Dead

Discord

"Discord" is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as "Dead", as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?
