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’m using https://www.t2host.io/discord/ because I thought it’d be easier to use than hosting it myself.
Ah, that’s cool, I hadn’t even looked into options like this as I always intended my node to be closed. But this wont ever do what a proper self-hosted bridge can. When installed and attached to the matrix server you are on, the bridge is able to do a lot more thanks to the access permissions that brings. Such as double puppeting, which means that if you send a message in discord, it actually gets bridged in reverse, and the bot add the message as you in matrix, too, keeping both chat histories matching.
With mautrix, you get everything you had in discord, in your matrix account: Spaces are used to mirror every server you decide to link, and the DM section is also present.
Do you host your own matrix instance? Or are you on someone elses?
