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’ll only accesss Discord if I can find a good third party app that respects privacy.

    I don’t think I understand. Even using a third party app, you still have a discord account and all of your messages are still stored on discord servers and associated with that account. What privacy are you gaining?
