Discord is such an obvious "stay the fuck away from" product.

With the same critical mass of users that most proprietary social media have, unfortunately. You'll be lucky to find certain communities on Matrix at all.

Yep. Those companies make it easy to join so they capture big user bases and become the defacto standard. I had a bad feeling about discord from the beginning. Glad I managed to stay away. But I'm old and not really interested in most "communities" online, so it's an easy decision for me. With instant messengers on the other hand...
