That’s great to hear. Somehow everyone and everything is on discord now and I really am not a fan of it what with all the pop ups and flashing shiny things to buy lol.
I’ll try to get my smaller groups on matrix
Comment on Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees
Ebsku@sopuli.xyz 5 months agoI’ve convinced few of my friends to use Matrix and it has been a really nice platform and now I prefer it to Discord not only because it respects user privacy but also because it doesn’t have the nitro bs

you can run a bridge. I forget that friends are on discord sometimes bc it’s so seamless, and they can’t tell I’m not sending messages from discord either. I do have to use the discord app for voip tho

Yeah I still have a lot of friends that just refuse to get off Discord but at least I got a few people to move like I said

Someone replied to me that you can run a bridge and never even know. I’m definitely trying it out now. Sick of all the nitro ads.

Does Matrix have video calls by now?

They are just using an implementation of Jitsi for the time being. Long story short: Yes, but they are still working on it.

Only if you use Element. Seems like the new Element client is making it even better, but afaik no protocol level support: element.io/…/element-x-now-with-embedded-voip/
