....Maybe I should try to make an account on one of those competitors... what's it called? Revolt or something?
Yup, its not widely used mainly because of the chaotic development, lack of a devcent mobile client and an actual selling point since it is basically a 1:1 recreation of discord
I feel like I have like three decent mobile clients, including the default?
https://matrix.org/try-matrix/ With the Element client, it's a pretty close experience to Slack/Discord.
cinny.in is much closer to discord then element
Not at all unless they have introduced voice channels instead of the antique group calls
revolt is great, but development is quite slow and its just copy of discord
A copy of discord without the fuckshit is all I want really.
