How's this better than Matrix?
(Not a leading question. I haven't used Discord/Matrix/etc. more than a handful of times and don't know what I don't know.)
Does Matrix have the equivalent of voice chat rooms that Discord has? I find as a user of Discord that being able to see who's just hanging out is the killer feature there. (As are things like game streaming and bots, ofc)
yes, albeit in beta in Element: https://element.io/blog/drop-in-drop-out-chats-with-video-ro...
$5/user/month = no way in hell I can get all my friends on board to use it. Impossible to get network effects going like that, as much as I wanted to try it.
It looks like it's a b2b app anyway
Element is hardly b2b lol.
