So, is Matrix like halfway between Whatsapp and Discord? I downloaded it and I still don't know much about it (not like I have ANYONE I know to test the app with). I felt like it was more Whatsapp-like
I’ve been wanting to test audio and video calls to see if I can use to play TTRPG instead of relying on discord. Sabe issue though, no one to test with. Let me know if you want to test either.
I think in recent years the lines have been blurred but I would say Matrix is more "Discord-like" because it is account-centric rather than phone-centric and is designed more around communities than 1:1 IM's to replace texting.
