This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won't tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. "Everyone else does it" is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.

I have hated discord so much and for so long. It collects all my data, controls and censors servers, and its run by shitty people who keep their shareholders close by.

I use Matrix and it has the potential to be a lot of fun (use a frontend that isn't Element and it gets way better) but it has limited instances. Yeah, I'd be extremely grateful if Lemmy communities had Matrix Rooms as opposed to Discord Servers.

What matrix app for Android and desktop Linux? In my experience they all have deal breaker bugs.

FluffyChat is another embedded browser, and Fractal causes some sort of corruption that causes my accounts to not authenticate properly after that. And that has happened on Linux Mint, Kubuntu, and NixOS. Fractal is broken just like the others. Submitted a bug report but nobody could reproduce.
