Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux’s permission prompts

    why cut chatroom functionality? Servers are the main reason people use discord?

      Not in my bubble, chats create insurmountable loads of noise. By focusing on threads you get the discussion much more focused and streamlined. Example: Most of my discords are ttrpg related, where with the usage of bots games are scheduled. Or where discussion are happening around certain ttrpg systems.

      I agree that a lot of discord servers focus on chat rooms. But you could retain that by simply having 1-2 chatrooms per server and structure/direct conversations to dedicated threads/voice chats instead.

      Again this is just MY view. I am totally aware that other people, use it differently.

        that’s a totally fair view, and the people at matrix seem to agree because it has threading, seems to be the kind you like, too

          No, matrix is still very focused on chat room sadly and for the video conferencing you need to use jitsi as far as I am aware, at least thats how we’ve set it up at work. The thread function in discord is much better actually.

              I mean I am not sure, but in matrix you can just “reply” to a comment in a chat room and therefore create a thread? In discord you can have whole “chatrooms” be transfered to discussion only with threads. I am not sure about the terminology but it looks very different to me. Basically, you can set Discord up like a community board etc.
