    Can someone explain to me why some communities do their communication using something like Matrix? I’m a member of some open source/ tech channels on Matrix that I am somewhat interested in or need suppport from. Every time I check my app I have line 1k unread messages. Like, does anyone have the time to read all that? Besides trying to find if a question I have has already been answered is pretty cumbersome.

    That doesn’t mean I don’t think Matrix is great, but it just doesn’t seem like the best fit for that application

      It’s the same with discord.

      Too many communities use discord (or matrix) instead of a real, searchable forum with topics and threads.

    Matrix is great as a discord alternative, I’d just wish it wouldn’t light my Server on fire every time I open element. Like I can live stream 4K to multiple people over that thing, but reading messages takes 30 seconds of fan screaming?
