      It needs to be a big wave of migration, rather than convincing one individual at a time. Discord needs to shit the bed while there’s a tolerable/better alternative we can all agree on.

        Tbh I don’t see that happening with matrix anyway. Even with discord going to shit.
        Every platform that needs a guide is too complicated for the common folk.
        This goes also for Lemmy. The users on Reddit that stayed either didn’t care about the whole API stuff or didnt understand the issue.
        Hell even I use it sometimes because the content here is sparse and I don’t have any meaningful to contribute as a post (not even a repost lol)

        We are the exception and putting up with reading a bit and then deciding where to start the camp.
        Discord, FAANG, streaming sites. All of them and more are simply to register, login and then use. At best you will set up 2FA.
        Most of the folks I know (even my boss of an IT company) do not register 2FA and if only because they are forced to (Google and MS/O365 does it for example).

        I probably see another (commercial) platform rising before Matrix will become popular.
