I hope the end is nigh for discord. Really is one of the worst pieces of software I’ve ever used

- artninja1988 2y agoWhat's a better alternative? I'd need something with voice/ video chats and servers
- gentleman11 2y agoBonus points if it’s encrypted enough to not have to worry about being snooped, open source, and/or easy to use
- blah-yeah 2y agoIRC ...oh... voice/video? ...not IRC
- michaelmrose 2y agoYou can drop a link to a meeting in any chat
- longitudinal93 2y agoMatrix will do all that
- artninja1988 2y agoMy impression is that matrix is run badly. Am I wrong?
- Arathorn 2y agospeaking as the project lead for Matrix: I haven’t done a great job of balancing “build new stuff to show off how amazing Matrix can be” and “make current stuff super polished and amazing”. However, we’ve spent the last few years plugging away addressing that, and I’d like to think the situation has improved significantly. Another consideration is that nobody yet has consciously gone out to build a Discord killer on top of Matrix. Element is currently focused on being a WhatsApp replacement for government users (as a way to bring in $ to make payroll), which often explains why folks expecting it to be a drop in replacement for Discord users have to readjust their expectations a bit. That said, Element could certainly end up competing proactively with Discord in the longer term. Meanwhile, Matrix certainly suffers from being successful enough to engender very strong feelings from folks who are disappointed in it. Whether that amounts to being run badly is probably a matter of perspective.
