Discord. Too many people and communities on it that won't use Matrix.
I'm sorry but Discord and Matrix both suck. They are no place for a community. They're places for a group of friends to chat and hang out, not a place for large discussions. They have a large amount of random crap mixed in with actually relevant info and they both aren't indexed by any search engines. IMO, traditional forums or even Lemmy and Reddit are far better for that.
What stops me from moving away from discord is the in-server game streaming. If something ever shows up with performance parity on that and the possibility of spinning up my own server I’ll drop discord in a second. So far I haven’t found it
