Why does this community, which is privacy oriented, use Discord rather than Matrix? (lemm.ee)

On the side bar it lists the following:

  • [Matrix/Element]Dead
  • Discord

"Discord" is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as "Dead", as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?

Each matrix chat is it's own channel. To admin multiple channels as you would on discord you just have to set up multiple matrix chats held by a common owner.

There is a mod role but you're right that you can't make custom ones though I honestly don't see much need to for a simple privacy community.

And I think matrix has voice now.

But yah I get what you're saying. Thank you for the elaboration.
