    I don’t know if matrix checks all of these boxes yet… but a discord contender built on matrix would be a dream.

      Matrix will never replace discord, because implementing gifs took them like 10 years so far and it’s still not even a concept. And imagine discord like experience without gifs. Impossible.

      Which is sad, because Matrix is otherwise absolutely great! It’s just not focused on casual users at all.

          For some people indeed. But general audience, majority of discord users, see it as “ah, it’s the ripoff without gifs”.

        I have never sent a gif on discord, and people who did are maniacs. There are better formats than ancient .gifs.

          Well, majority of people discord is focused on do use them. That is how it is. When Matrix offer something meaningless (for them) like e2ee or federation in exchange for not having gifs and being “too complicated to set up”, you’ll never get this people to use it. It just makes no sense for them.
