Hidden inside the whatsapp->signal box in tiny faint font. I was wondering why there isn’t a big “Discord -> Matrix”

Matrix still lacks some signature fearures of discord that its users like, like one-click voice channels (I heard Element is experimenting with it with video) and guild/channel-level roles. role based access control is being planned for a long time, but it doesn’t really go forward unfortunately

I mean, loops is missing a lot too. Matrix is quite there already.

Here Revolt is suggested as an alternative to Discord which looks quite similar.

But Revolt isn’t federated is it? It wouldn’t fit here any more than signal.

Yes, it isn’t federated, but you can host your own server for your community. That way you are independent of any central organization.

So, is Matrix like halfway between Whatsapp and Discord? I downloaded it and I still don’t know much about it (not like I have ANYONE I know to test the app with). I felt like it was more Whatsapp-like

I think in recent years the lines have been blurred but I would say Matrix is more “Discord-like” because it is account-centric rather than phone-centric and is designed more around communities than 1:1 IM’s to replace texting.

I’ve been wanting to test audio and video calls to see if I can use to play TTRPG instead of relying on discord. Sabe issue though, no one to test with. Let me know if you want to test either.
