  Hi! Because of the UI, which aims to be similar to discord.

    But the ui is the worst part of discord

      Maybe, but when you’re looking to make discord users migrate to a safer/saner app, you need the new app to be as discord-like as possible

        I understand the impulse, but I think it’s wrong for a few reasons:

        1. Discord didn’t become popular because of its ui. It became popular by lowering barriers to entry.
        2. I don’t think you’ll get a critical mass of people by being “discord but less evil”.
        3. A better ui or ux could be a genuine selling point, or a way to distinguish it
