This seems like the better alternative to discord than the other centralized platforms
That’s a UX issue more than anything, IMO. Matrix is just a protocol
Yes it is, at least for real-time chat. I don't know if Matrix has voice chat.
you can use voice and video rooms to my understanding of it, and yeah it can do calls. I haven't really tested it much as my matrix server is just me and my wife, and neither of us are often out of eachothers sites very long.
Voice/video usually supported by a TURN server. If you check out the link in the OP you can see this app supports it.
That's the old way to support calls. The new way is MatrixRTC/Livekit. Not all clients support it yet, but the website says commet supports that too.
