Hi all, I’m new here on Lemmy and had never even heard of Matrix until I logged into Beehaw. I see frequent references to the “enshitification” of Discord, but I’m a bit OOTL on that.
What’s your preference between Matrix and Discord?
Any particular reasons or just a preference?
I wish I could start using Matrix for personal communication, but the fact that every friend and family member I have are already on Discord and the fact that Matrix has non-trivial technical hurdles immediately kills any possibility of using Matrix.
I think at this point, I only use Matrix to engage in a few community chats from time to time.
discord is absolute trash for me no matter where I use it but alas the network effect keeps me on it. I’m only there because all of my friends are there😮💨
ive tried matrix with fluffychat a while back but somehow it was a little intimidating to me. besides I prefer forums, especially with strangers. chats feel too personal lol
I like discord currently but matrix is just far too inactive within the communities I have sought out from what I can see personally.
I use Matrix with friends. I don’t have Discord account but if I will have to talk to a stranger or join a public chatroom I could make it, Matrix isn’t really suitable for rooms of hundreds of people yet, in my opinion. I hope it will change soon with the development of new clients and servers
I like Discord because its UI, customization ability (per $$ ofc) and the ease-of-use. I am not really keen on matrix yet. Seems clunky and slow. Revolt is seeming promising so far.
