      It’s easy to use, it’s fast, it’s cross-platform, it’s free, it’s capable of streaming E2EE video at high resolution and low latency to dozens to hundreds of people at the same time. That’s not something you can say about many competitors.

            It’s free…as in it doesn’t cost “money” (not that yours has any true value left anyway, sucker) but it does cost your soul and feeedom…

            …How do I use that varition of text size???

          Compared to pretty much anything else that’s offered to end users? Yeah

          Matrix has been struggling with the “fast” part of the equation for a long time, and it’s more complex, technical, and visually overbearing than Discord.

          For just one example, servers. In Discord, a “server” is the second level of hierarchy just below the app itself. Underneath that there are channel groups, then channels. The structure is simple, and a hierarchy is simple.

          In Matrix, a server is something that runs an instance, and instances crosscut channels and channel groups. It’s no longer necessarily clear which server “hosts” a channel, or how to correctly refer to it when inviting friends, or how mechanisms of censorship might work if someone gets kicked out of an instance, or federation is disrupted, etc.
