People love discord. When Microsoft tried to buy it, people freaked out. They turned down the multi billion dollar offer. IMO, I don't believe the paid portion of the app is worth the money because it's mostly cosmetic bullshit. They don't give me a good reason to give them money

I also think discord nitro is kind of B.S . The only reason I still use discord is because my friends use it.

I wish there were similar features in Matrix clients like Element. Just the voice channels feature will be enough for me.

Revolt chat is a good alternative. It lacks in features but its pretty good for an FOSS project. I tried to convince my friends to use it but they crawled back to discord after 2 days.
