It could install itself and I still wouldn’t use it. Nobody I care about is on there and inertia is important too. This has been true since the dawn of real-time communications platforms and isn’t going to change either.
@Kushia 🤷♂️ I have the opposite situation, nobody I care about is on discord. So discord sucks? See the thing is if one matrix guy wants to talk to one discord guy, one of them needs to install a new app. And I think the world would be better if we all had more free/libre apps and less walled gardens, so I will strongly resist installing discord. Just yet another proprietary walled garden waiting for the rug-pull. Why? Just convince the other guy to use Matrix and over time our world will improve
@Kushia Of course I am. Now I would appreciate if you didn’t come to the open-source community telling everyone how bad they are and that they are never gonna make it. That’s a pretty shit move man. Cheers.
If Matrix could compete on both a quality and inertia level I’d use it instead of Discord. I’ve spent many hours on IRC too. What matters is where the users are and I’d rather spend my time developing software, not doing admin.

The you’re free to use it, that’s the great thing about choice.

I never said it’s never going to make it, I said I care about what works for the majority with the least amount of friction.
If you took that as a personal attack that’s on you.
@Kushia such a lovely conversation with you. I’m actually glad you prefer discord.
Why are you so angry over an opinion different to your own?
@Kushia Not angry, but I would push against an opinion voiced arrogantly even if it was similar to mine. I guess I’m just not high when I’m posting.
Fair enough, I wasn’t intending to offend anyone.
