Matrix is an absolutely pale imitation of Discord.
Yes it is very upsetting that the most popular chat platform in the Western world is in league with Sauron, but Matrix as a replacement is a glorified ICQ client that regularly yells at you that your device is untrusted now and there's no hope of fixing it, you loser.
Yeah Matrix is horrible, I don't think it will ever catch on
I used Element and it was also an overcomplicated and cluttered UI. They should've just straight copied Discord like ReVolt/Stoat did
