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.

    The closest thing to a Discord server Matrix-wise are Spaces, which basically are groups of Rooms that people can join by invite (and maybe by link? But not sure)

    I see in Matrix as a protocol great potential but it needs some more projects that will focus on the different aspects of communication.

    Element cannot aim to be both a WhatsApp replacement, a Slack replacement and a Discord replacement, but for sure 3 different alternatives for those services can be built all using the Matrix protocol

      Maybe this move by Discord will be an incentive for others to just in and start coding new services to fill the gaps. We can only hope…
