Hi all, I’m new here on Lemmy and had never even heard of Matrix until I logged into Beehaw. I see frequent references to the “enshitification” of Discord, but I’m a bit OOTL on that.

What’s your preference between Matrix and Discord?

Any particular reasons or just a preference?

    I wish I could start using Matrix for personal communication, but the fact that every friend and family member I have are already on Discord and the fact that Matrix has non-trivial technical hurdles immediately kills any possibility of using Matrix.

    I think at this point, I only use Matrix to engage in a few community chats from time to time.
