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.

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.
