What an excellent place to remind people of the Free and Open Source Element project built upon the Matrix platform.
They, in my opinion, desperately need contributors to provide the same level of features as Discord, particularly with community and moderation features such as a landing page where users can agree with rules and terms before using the server.
I like Revolt better because it’s actually designed to replace Discord. Matrix isn’t designed to be Discord, and that’s a problem, because what I want is FOSS Discord. Matrix doesn’t bring any novel features that make me want it more than FOSS Discord.
And Lemmy is run by Tankies, we kind of have to have faith in the ability to self-host with these platforms and make minimal compromises between them and the competitors.
