  Element is an app for “Matrix” (thats like lemmy but for discord) that is developed by a for-profit company (the company mostly manages deployments for big governments). But not only is it open source, its just one client of many for matrix. The vast majority are developed by individuals (Cinny, FluffyChat).

  Plus, it’s not even remotely similar to Discord. There are probably discord features missing from matrix but they certainly have a lot of similarities. Though tbf Cinny is the closest to discord in terms of design and functionality not element (but they both are matrix clients).

  They have business offerings, but the client is still free. There are also many other Matrix Clients.
