So, is Matrix like halfway between Whatsapp and Discord? I downloaded it and I still don’t know much about it (not like I have ANYONE I know to test the app with). I felt like it was more Whatsapp-like
I think in recent years the lines have been blurred but I would say Matrix is more “Discord-like” because it is account-centric rather than phone-centric and is designed more around communities than 1:1 IM’s to replace texting.
Hidden inside the whatsapp->signal box in tiny faint font. I was wondering why there isn’t a big “Discord -> Matrix”
Bad on-boarding
Here Revolt is suggested as an alternative to Discord which looks quite similar.

Missing end-to-end encryption
But Revolt isn’t federated is it? It wouldn’t fit here any more than signal.
