Well, they just need to make the applications work exactly like their alternatives. Mastodon should show a random feed across the entire Mastodon Fediverse. And Matrix/Element should have a "Discover" section to allow you to browse the entire Matrix, and needs DMs
DMs are one of Matrix's main features
They don't really work like Discord DMs... Maybe that has changed since I last used Element though.
idk what you mean by that... you can send messages or files to eachother, just like on discord. What else is there?
They aren't in a separate section as far as I remember. And you couldn't have Group DMs.
There's a setting to put them into seperate sections and aside from that, Element isn't the only Matrix client. And for group DMs you can just make a group chat.
