I would be less willing to contribute/participate in discussions if newer platforms such as discord, slack, or matrix are used. Of those three, I would prefer discord, then slack, then matrix.
As it is, I only use Slack for work, and mostly avoid discord and matrix except for a few mostly dead channels/servers.
I understand that this is not the mainstream view and that most people prefer the newer platforms, but personally, I am not a fan of them nor do I use them.
So #1 discord, #2 slack, and #3 matrix? Am I getting that right? Why that ranking?
It comes down to bridging. I use discord and slack via IRC bridges. I actually use slack a lot (for work), but primarily through irslackd. I do not use slack for anything outside of work and would prefer to keep it that way.
For discord, I primarily use it through bitlbee-discord. With this bridge/gateway, I can actually chat on different servers at the same time, so I wouldn't mind this for different communities if I had to.
Matrix is last because I don't really have a good briding solution for it and it just seems clunkier than the other two for me.
