- che_shirecat 9y agoDiscord seems to be doing just fine. Nobody really gives a shit about product names.
- aquadrop 9y agoNobody gives a shit unless it's a bad name
- bogle 9y agoIt's good to have e2e crypto but the clients aren't very pretty. That's going to put folk off. Just saying. I use Signal myself and it's nicer than Riot, IMHO, but I can't get anyone else on to it other than my other half.
- yogsototh 9y agoAfter the slack irc apocalypse, we switched to matrix.org and riot with my friends. I must say, I'm really impressed by the quality of the product. Regarding its popularity I would have expected a lower quality product. In fact the UX and the UI are superior to slack. Furthermore while not needed, it was _very_ easy to host my own matrix server and to use bridges to access my preferred IRC channels. So my server keep track of the messages written when I'm not logged in. Really its just great and I recommend everyone to give it a try.
