It's the timeless debate between accessibility and exclusivity. Do you want more people in your community by compromising some values? Or would you rather be a hardliner but never reach those people?
Most of the time you have to pick somewhere on that spectrum. It's a question of pragmatism and utilitarianism.
Does it do more good for lots of people to be slightly more privacy-aware, or is it better to have a very small portion of the population that are super privacy-aware?
You have to decide, and the debate rages on all the time.
Are you able to at least bridge you matrix to the discord? You should, at the very least, be able to do that while also promoting matrix.
Yes there are bridge bots. But discord breaks them, and bands their accounts. Sometimes
Thanks!
