Hi all, I’m new here on Lemmy and had never even heard of Matrix until I logged into Beehaw. I see frequent references to the “enshitification” of Discord, but I’m a bit OOTL on that.

What’s your preference between Matrix and Discord?

Any particular reasons or just a preference?

    From a privacy perspective, I use and prefer Matrix/Element. I also admit that setting matrix up isn’t the easiest thing to do and could keep people from adopting it.

    I’ll only accesss Discord if I can find a good third party app that respects privacy. On my computer I use Webcord for this, but I haven’t found anything similar to use on a phone.
