Any advice on how to move a server over to a matrix/element based setup?

I have a feeling there will be resistance to change, because many of the core people there seem to be discord fans and are longtime users.

I only use it (discord) if I really have to now, been encouraging my friends/peers to contact me on matrix if anything, which hopefully pushes the user base.

Already moved my community to Matrix/Element last year. Haven’t looked back.

Quests are a feature of Discord, so they’re not ads. But for everyone not using quests, this is just another annoying piece of crap.

Being a “feature” doesn’t mean it isn’t an ad.

Lol, they want to go public in this disastrous economy.

I really hope indie developers will start moving off Discord. I always really disliked their UI, but it’s becoming clear that Discord is not viable in the long-term.
