I know peertube, but what is matrix?
Matrix is federated discord. And it also supports bridges to other networks like signal, WhatsApp etc.
Oh okay, sounds neat. I've never really been that into Discord, unfortunately. I'd like to use Peertube more too, but it seems pretty empty rn, and idk anything about making videos!
Yeah, unfortunately, not many content creators put their work there. (AFAIK it's just Linux people). I have honestly found more use of Matrix as a central hub, that I control, to talk to all other messaging platforms I need to be on. There's a good collection of bridges that are (hopefully) growing.
Install Element, the most popular client and you will see. It's quite nice!
