@crse@social.linux.pizza xmpp is closer than matrix (in that it has user status messages) but both are severely lacking in a whole host of ways: * slick reliable UX (matrix sync is still laughable) * guilds/servers * voice "channels" (not calls!) * easy custom emotes * server side moderation/rewrite history - absolutely ridiculous to have to wait for delete events to federate * all the other moderation tools, roles, permission management, anti-raid/spam mechanisms The UX and reliability is really what matters though, i have a bunch of friends who all use discord and won't be willing to leave unless the large and small communities they're a part of do as well... We don't necessarily need feature parity today but we need something good enough to get early adopters heck pmOS uses matrix and we would benefit hugely from having custom roles to help identify people and let us quickly reach people who maybe own or work on a particular device for example
