Spaces is an underused feature that I hope see gain more traction! It makes Matrix a credible competitor to Slack and Discord
What do you mean by "spaces"?
It's the equivalent of discord servers
I can't use discord because they require phone numbers from users who use privacy tools.

A space is a collection of rooms. So you have a clean list of spaces, then when you click into one of them it shows all the rooms that it contains. Without spaces, every single room is shown in one big list.
Spaces have nothing to do with Discord. They're just a way of grouping multiple Matrix rooms together into one "space" like how Discord channels are grouped into one "server."
