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?

  • Discord. My non-technical friends are there, even the technical servers seem more populated by knowledgeable people than Matrix. Matrix has been very confusing to use, and personally, except for the servers that bridge everywhere, I found it lacked the people I actually want to talk to. I prefer even IRC to Matrix.
