Yeah I’m not sure why many are saying matrix is bad. My friends and I have been using it for months now and its been great. Granted, its only 4 of us. A large 20 person server may not fare as well.
It’s buggy, doesn’t properly support screen sharing, doesn’t properly support voice calls, and all the available clients are hit or miss over which features they have. I personally think it’s harder to switch over from Discord to Matrix than from Reddit to Lemmy. Matrix sucks, but that’s probably because it’s built for businesses organizations to use, not common users like us. For that reason, I still think we need a real replacement to Discord built to be federated from the beginning.
I help moderate a medium sized server with lots of people and it’s nice! It’s public so this means we do have to care about moderation tools like draupnir which you probably don’t need to do for your personal server (unless it’s also public)

Screen share and voice work perfectly on element x and commet. Why is yours not working?
