    How does the make it non free from corporate influence. The hate boner towards discord is getting ridiculous sometimes. Yeah it sucks to use a repo thats not googleable and not open source bur discord is an objectively better user experience than matrix

      How does the make it non free from corporate influence.

      Do they require Discord and depend on it? Yes.
      Is Discord corporate? Yes.
      Are they then still free from corporate influence? Nope.

      Simply put, if Discord suddenly implemented weird rules the Ladybird devs would have to comply with, they’d simply have to follow suit or break their main communication channel.

        And of course something will likely happen like that. They couldn’t help themselves, so it’s inevitable.

      We see these things differently. I would argue that Matrix clients are better organized than Discord. That said, not only is Discord a privacy nightmare, but ilthe interface is only pseudo-organized at best.

        All the Matrix clients are buggy using far too many resources & the protocol is slow as balls about joining new rooms while being wasteful about data duplication for throwaway bits of text/multimedia. I don’t think eventual consistency is the right model for chat & following Slack & Discord’s model is the way.

          Slack & Discord both use eventual consistency?

          Btw I agree with you that Discord is better UX than Matrix, but your comment doesn’t make much sense
