Also, weirdly, a lot of people seem to use Discord for things used to be (and I would say should) be on a forum (or community, magazine, etc.)
Trying to follow the thread of a discussion about some obscure point you’re interested in is much easier when it’s in a thread, instead of an undifferentiated chat log with a bunch of unrelated cross-talk.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
I never used Discord but used google hangouts before switching to Telegram and Matrix (the former for family and the latter for everything else).

Does matrix have a voice/video functionality or is it strictly text chat?
I plan to check out matrix since the /r/firefox group has been chatting through that.
