Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default "teen-appropriate" experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

Get back to me when it's remotely able to handle emojis, screen sharing cross platform, proper audio capture, reliable DMs and group chats.

Element even shits the bed 95% of the time when you try to use it like a discord alterative.

The fact people think matrix is remotely acceptable is just proof your avg user on lemmy has no fucking clue what your avg user wants or expects out of a chat/gamer platform.

Matrix barely makes the bar for a replacement for a enterprise chat app. Let alone something aimed at more flexible groups and communities.
