I don't think people on this sub use it, but it's great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

There's also privacy issues with Matrix:

  • Account deletion on Discord: username becomes [deleted]
  • Account deletion on Matrix: will not delete username
  • GDPR-compliant account deletion on Matrix: will not delete username

Discord is also one (admittedly very lousy) company, while Matrix starts with the privacy issues and just gets worse

Edit x2: I can't place a parenthesis to save my life

FOSS does not mean there are no business interests. Think about Mozilla Firefox, Postgres, RedHat, etc.
