pane 2 (spooderman): shure! how joyn?
pane 3 (dolan): Here discord! (with discord logo)
pane 4 (spooderman with tears in eyes): y u do dis?
the ironic thing is that basically the only thing that needs to happen for matrix to have that moment is some startup company to host a server much like discord, and then create a front end.
It's literally something they're capable of doing, and it would totally work. The ENTIRE backend is already done, they can even help contribute to matrix as well. The value is the customer base, not the open source code, so it's not like it's going anywhere.
