    FWIW it’s very common now to see at least open source projects run their own Matrix channels instead of Discord/IRC/xxx.

    (I see in other comments that there’s some confusion regarding Element and Matrix. Element is a client, Matrix is the protocol. Yes, Element-the-company does their best to add to this confusion)

      I’m just imagining a bunch of people in Honda Elements yelling at each other about video games.

      Matrix has the same issue. Its not indexed by search engines. Plus the apps and ux are terrible.

      Yeah but that isn’t the greater population, unfortunately. What can we do to make the Fediverse more interesting for people?
