You’re entirely right, I’m just presenting it in terms of familiarity, or entry point. People who where used to discord would have an easier time with a discord-like UI and functionalities, but nothing would keep them from exploring other matrix clients in the end (in the case of Commet).

Maybe, but when you’re looking to make discord users migrate to a safer/saner app, you need the new app to be as discord-like as possible.

Same thing for an OS (thus DE) change, i’d recommend KDE above all else to a windows user because it’s the DE that is the most windows-adjacent.

Hi! Because of the UI, which aims to be similar to discord.

It’s more than time to move away from Discord.

So far, on the matrix protocol front, Commet is a good candidate.

On the XMPP protocol front, Movim is… moving forward, developping a clone interface that is promising.

There are others, like Stoat and Fluxxer, but I don’t know much about them.

Oh did you both install it? It’s neither on Flathub nor F-Droid
