Personally I don’t think it’s quite there yet. Element is probably the best Matrix app but not quite at parity for ease of use to a regular user and the general design and feel of discord is better… For now
I believe it will get there though. We’ve seen the enshittification cycle happen so many times to chat apps historically it’s basically the most inevitable that discord will collapse eventually. Is anyone still using AIM? MSN? Case in point.
I definitely don’t think element is the best but yes it’s not there yet. Honestly the performance has gotten a lot better but I’m still waiting for VoIP.

I think those were merged quite a while ago, right?
If not element what do you prefer?
Cinny or fluffychat
Interesting. Last I tried Cinny it was behind Element. I’ll give it a look again. Haven’t tried Fluffy. Linux and mobile only?
ye basically, you can use flufflychat in the web browser as well
