On the side bar it lists the following:

  • [Matrix/Element]Dead
  • Discord

“Discord” is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as “Dead”, as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?

      Mod tools or tools like play music on an audio room? Because seems like it’s more about features like this than moderation tools (or that’s my feeling).

      Matrix has moderation tools (https://matrix.org/docs/communities/moderation/), but the bot needs to be hosted by yourself, or you need to pay. So from the 5 points @[email protected] has written, I only agree with “Huge amount of useful bots created by the community” as discord is the most used.

        Discord is not just about the community bot culture. The moderation tools there are hassle-free and people can be segregated into as many channels they can access, or who can be muted and unmuted during a hybrid audio-screenshare group chat session, and so on. Its very granular and easy even for basic level social media users.
