We set up a bridge between the Lemmy.world General Matrix room and the Public-1 channel on the Lemmy World discord server yesterday. It's not perfect as emoji reactions aren't visible and some minor things like how it handles edited messages but other than that it seems to be working well.
Now people on both chat clients can interact with eachother!
In this case there seem to be three activities: general chat, official announcements, and attack coordination.
The first makes sense to use the most popular option, the second benefits from source confirmed identities and decentralization, the third benefits from everyone's confirmed identitites and decentralized encrypted chats.
In either case, no technical aspect makes Discord "better" (who cares if the "spam memes and vocal channel" fails and burns), at most the ability to send invite links to private channels without having to set up a bot, makes Discord a "calculated risk".
