They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

I don't want to self host a bunch of shit and spend a week troubleshooting stuff, no one wants to do that.

edit: plus that way you're still literally just using discord through a different UI, what's the point of it anyway

there's literally one person I ever knew that used Matrix and they fucking sucked

You don't need to self host, there are servers that do this for you

One person used Matrix and they sucked.

Judging people based on the messaging platform (or vice-versa) is one of the most shallow things there is nowadays. It's like girls who say they don't date anyone who uses Android.

Rossman Repair moved their main group over to Matrix. There are people making the jump.
