    Awful.

    They’ve somehow managed to consolidate the communications of so many groups outside of its original gaming focus with a “slick” UI and apparent ease of access. They’re under the guise of being cool despite being closed-source software with zero regard for security and use outside of their Electron wrapper.

    The sooner it collapses the better, and I really hope Matrix rises in popularity. Even though the Discord bridge exists it isn’t 1:1 and you need to be a mod on the Discord end in order to even allow it, and nobody does.

      Matrix has its own share of problems too, but yeah, it would be neat if it gained more popularity. Discord has some merit though, their UI, feature set and extreme ease of use is veeeery nice for common users.
      Matrix is far from achieving that, but good work is being done for sure.
