[–] dannym@lemmy.escapebigtech.info 5 points 2 years ago (5 children) why not matrix? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Takeshidude@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) I've got a Matrix server up and running and have tried a couple of different clients, but at the end of the day the Matrix UX isn't really an alternative to Discord, rather an alternative to Facebook Messenger/WhatsApp or other group message platforms. The main thing I would point to is that Matrix itself only does text; the Element client uses Jitsi to add in audio/video calls and screensharing, but at least right now, it's the only Matrix client to integrate voice, video, or screenshare. My other gripes are just with the user interface, but if you open any of the Matrix mobile apps and compare it to Facebook Messenger and to the Discord mobile app, and you'll see it really doesn't look like Discord. I wish I could quantify it better, but Matrix just doesn't feel like Discord whereas Revolt does. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] dannym@lemmy.escapebigtech.info 3 points 2 years ago The main thing I would point to is that Matrix itself only does text; the Element client uses Jitsi to add in audio/video calls and screensharing [...] Matrix VoIP is a thing, and it's usable for audio & video on many clients, element and fluffychat come to mind, but probably more. element call is also coming into element (and possibly other clients) for video calls and screensharing My other gripes are just with the user interface, [...] it really doesn’t look like Discord why does that matter? permalink fedilink source parent [+] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago Not Similar to Discord permalink fedilink source parent [–] ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago No voice chatrooms so it's not similar.
