Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Fun is the least of my concerns. I don't know why people compare the 2 when they have almost nothing in common. One is a chat app and the other is a voice/streaming/community app. Matrix is slow as hell and the way "spaces" are implemented is a joke.
Honestly outside of the incessant pop-ups and upsells and the whole selling everything to AI companies, it's pretty great for private communities.
Your view of Matrix seems a bit weird. AFAIK I can do all the voice/streaming/community in Matrix as well as it's done in Discord.
Also, no, my server isn't slow. matrix.org might be, I don't know.
I have a Matrix server. I've also used a half a dozen others. Every one of them you have sit there and stare at it for 5-10 secs and watch the messages roll in every time you open the app.
Sorry but this sounds like a skill issue.
Loading times are a skill issue? You could at least try to make sense while you're being a dick.
I've never had any problems with low speed. Maybe it's hosting provider?
