I feel this is happening a lot...that's not really how to use matrix the correct way is it?

Also, big bummer element has no gif keyboard. My friends are bummed about it.

Too many people have grown so massively comfortable with discord that entire communities of people just relying on each other for social contact leave their voice chat or cameras running 24/7 so they can be around each other in some capacity.

They would break down having to change platforms, and there are LOT of younger people in this demographic.

Personally I think it's a deeply sad way to live and socialize, and they would probably largely be healthier if the whole thing shut down, but I recognize how lonely and depressing the world is and how everyone wants to find comfort with others.
