Discord vs Matrix - What’s Your Preference? (beehaw.org)

Hi all, I’m new here on Lemmy and had never even heard of Matrix until I logged into Beehaw. I see frequent references to the “enshitification” of Discord, but I’m a bit OOTL on that.

What’s your preference between Matrix and Discord?

Any particular reasons or just a preference?

Just like… everything that's federated? XMPP, Mastodon, Lemmy ?

As soon as you're in the room (messaging) or following someone or something (social networking), you want to store all their content, so that you have it even if their server is down.
