I’ve seen several people say that Matrix clients aren’t good at replacing Discord, but I’m having trouble understanding what exactly is missing. What critical features does Discord have that a client like Element lacks?
Here’s a critical feature: Matrix bans people using a VPN. Fuck that. I joined a channel for the first time, said “Hello”, and was instantly banned for “Spam”.
I have to use a VPN because I get my Internet from tethering my phone using EasyTether to make it look like phone data, and connecting to stuff like Windows Update would make it really obvious I’m doing so.
Are you talking about matrix.org? I have my own server. If it bans me, that’ll be wild.
Yeah, I think so. I downloaded the recommended app, connected to the recommended server, added a channel, tried to ask my question, and BAM! That was it.
Unfortunately discord is the main app used for a lot of communities I follow for specific games, streamer communities, local organizations, etc. But for my friend group we use a self hosted matrix server. It lacks all the nifty bots for music streaming, I’m pretty sure I can’t screen share for movie nights or to share gaming, but it had the bare bones chatting experience
Discord:
- Takes down accounts for mass reporting without checking the issue.
- Takes down accounts for sharing slightly copyrighted content.
- Takes down accounts for using alternative discord clients.
- Doesn’t take down accounts related to coordinated spam attacks to another platform.
Discord being discord I guess, but it’s weird, I’ve seen them take down servers and accounts for all sorts of light issues, but not for this?
If you had put spaces after your dashes, you would have made a proper bulleted list instead of a paragraph. Just FYI.
- Takes down accounts for mass reporting without checking the issue.

Which is wild because Discord has taken down servers for what is in my opinion pretty benign stuff like independent Korean comic localization groups. (Although I personally don’t use those because it’s generally very shifty people trying to enter DMs of vulnerable people, just get a website dudes).
Discord only cares about piracy and cp. Because the copyright industry and the police forces them to, respectively.
I doubt they would spend resources on curbing even that if they werent forced tbh.
What if there was a class action lawsuit against Discord from the Mastodon admins?
