Discord isn't even close to Element. Discord provides no privacy and a single point of failure. Matrix however will offer peer-to-peer lite servers running on-device that'll even work offline via BLE. Try using Discord during an invasion or natural disaster.
This idea that Discord is accessible globally is such an America-centric naïvete.
- Klonoar 4y ago>Discord provides no privacy and a single point of failure. Normal users fundamentally do not give a shit. OP is contrasting Element as a client, and it is subpar in comparison to Discord's UI/UX. No protocol differences can paper over this.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoDifferent strokes for different folks. FWIW, you can bridge Discord to Matrix. It is more valuable to me to have a single universal messaging app across all my devices than it is to corksniff over UX across a couple dozen apps. Furthermore, I'm autistic, the UI of Discord is atrocious. Completely overwhelming.
- Klonoar 4y agoNone of these points even remotely refute my comment.
