Discord age verification now locks stage channels, DMs, and adult content behind four ID methods — each with different privacy trade-offs worth knowing.
Yeah, and that’s the cool part on Matrix.
It’s not really P2P yet, but it’s federated (including the storage), and they have a project looking to make it P2P.
The protocol itself obviously no, but you have clients really similar to Discord, such as Cinny, Fluffy Chat, Extera, Extera Next, Nheko, Commet, Tacit, Sable, etc.
In my experience it has been a 1:1 discord replacement. It has channels, all kinds of emojis, video/voice calls, and multiple clients that give a very similar appearance to discord.
It’s a power user platform, it doesnt have simple onboarding in the way something like Fluxer/Stoat have. A Discord replacement has to have easy of use and familiarity, Matrix doesnt. You said it yourself with “multiple clients”.
It’s called Plutonium or something. They do have the equivalent of Nitro.
Yes but unlike Discord you can just ignore it.
Actually not. They do impose really stupid upload limits.
Not stupid at all when you’re the one paying for storage.
Storage costs build up fast, the real solution is just handling peer to peer file sharing.

Matrix is cool, it’s just not a Discord replacement.
It can be, actually.

How has it not been the same for you?
