Discord was always an overhyped crap.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's basically IRC, with 2 good features (voice, video) and a whole helluva lotta bullshit features that only exist to be monetized (Nitro, stickers, etc).

All of that extra bullshit actively detracts from discord and I hope Matrix never follows suit.
