And that’s why I can’t use Matrix for what I use Discord for. I run several Discord servers including one that I literally used magic to guide My hand in creating the channel layout, and people in the server can feel the magic in the !air. Which is appropriate, because it’s an occult server. Such magic would never be possible on Matrix.
So when people say Matrix works as a Discord replacement, I disagree. Members of My coven have felt a pit of nausea in their stomach when they try to engage with Matrix the same way.
That’s fair, but I think looking for a one-size fits-all-purposes is guaranteed to fail. Your replacement can be different to mine and that doesn’t make either a bad thing, just represents the various different needs that discord filled.
