We set up a bridge between the Lemmy.world General Matrix room and the Public-1 channel on the Lemmy World discord server yesterday. It’s not perfect as emoji reactions aren’t visible and some minor things like how it handles edited messages but other than that it seems to be working well.
Now people on both chat clients can interact with eachother!
For your argument; I don’t agree. I think Matrix has sufficient features for this job.
He said confidently, without any real experience to back this up
As a user or as an admin ?
Why should a random admin be more trusted than discord ? (malicious, security, data leaks etc)
Matrix has E2E encrypted chats with user controlled keys and open clients.
Discord doesn’t, at all, any of that.
Why should a random admin who can’t read your chats, be more trusted than a corporation which logs them all?.. well, for starters they can’t read, modify, datamine, profile, or leak, what they don’t have 🤷
