Telegram Will die, Matrix will takeover

Is matrix more of a discord alternate or telegram

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Originally a federated E2EE alternative to IRC. But it can replace any instant messengers (Discord, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, ICQ, Jabber, etc.).

Does "replace" mean I can use it to communicate with people who are on any of these apps?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Sorry, by 'replace' I meant 'use as an alternative'.

Matrix has bridges, but they have to be configured on a backend (instance) and I don't know any instances that allow them at no charge.

Telegram, viber etc.

Why is it dying? Is matrix as easy to use? telegram is very user friendly but matrix from what I remember has you use servers or something else and it gets complicated for normies

Bro, it's same as lemmy. In few years it will be more advanced, and users too. Why bigger communities risk to be banned on telegram? Maybe more better to host your community on matrix?
