Its looking like Microsoft is gonna buy Discord. Preferably open source, and has a big userbase, and has Windows and Linux option. (but mainly windows because i only game on windows now.)

There is no such thing as a voice or video channel in Matrix. Not yet at least. Communities are going to be replaced by Spaces soon btw.

There isn’t voice chats/channels in Matrix afaik, only calls. One time calls are not what people look for in Discord alternatives. The appeal of voice channels is that they’re always there and show who’s online with other people already or looking for a chat, with no one specific mind. It’s just like Mumble channels.
I’m kinda confused why you keep saying Matrix/Element has features it clearly doesn’t.

A voice channel (or “call” if you wanna equate them) with no people won’t use any “tons of bandwidth” though. There’s literally no data being transferred. A voice stream doesn’t even have to be allocated (or whatever the right terminology is for that).
That’s interesting, I’ve never experimented with that. Still, people want an obvious equivalent to Discord voice channels. Calls aren’t voice channels, no matter how much you want them to be the same. At a technical level they’re the same yes, but the UX is completely different.
Hell you could even say all they need to do to implement voice channels is at the client level because the server already kind of supports it through the Jitsi calls.
