  And the ui of those are terrible and will never have non technical people adopt them. Also discord has end to end encrypted video calls and screen share which neither of those two have

    depending on which client you use, the ui can be very discord-like (this is cinny): raw.githubusercontent.com/…/preview2-light.png

    Also matrix has calls (at least element does), though not sure about screen share. And since when was discord e2e?

    I ll admit matrix was for a long time really slow but matrix 2.0 largely solves this and other usability issues. Calls and screen share are still not standardized but its all being worked on. With matrix, its not just about building one app, its about building a decentralized ecosystem all connected by the matrix protocol

      They need to add voice rooms like discord/TS/mumble, where they are there in the sidebar and can be joined/left instantly.

      Real-time game streaming like discord has is important also to get disord users to switch over.

      You can integrate it with Jitsi (also self hosted) and call, screenshare and whatever else you want there.

    As we all know, UI is a fundamental part of any piece of software's architecture and cannot be changed without a ground-up rewrite.

  Matrix does not support custom emojis, which are the killer feature of Discord.

  Terrible video calls. No screenshare last I checked. UI feels dated.

  They are undoubtedly better, but neither of them feel like Discord. They are more like WhatsApp or Signal.
