Pretty cool. I just wish it had its own identity and didn't look like Walmart Discord.

I hope the communities/servers arent self-hosted because that would be shot in the knee, cuz this is security issue

TeamSpeak and Ventrilo were like that

I'm all for good UI/UX spreading as much as possible for the benefit of users.

That said, I've barely used discord and thus can't rightly say if it has good UI/UX.

They will have a better stack than Discord once they migrate to Tauri.

So, how does it compares to matrix/element?

So you have the chance to redesign Discord and you decide to stick with the unicorn-puking emoji-littered eye-scorching UX/UI garbage that Discord is? Interesting.

I mean, if you are looking for a Discord alternative, isn't the design/UX part of what you're looking for? If you want something that is the opposite of what you describe, IRC still exists and works well, but not sure many end-users would call it an alternative to Discord.

I was wondering whether this was just a matrix client the entire front page. I dont see why you wouldn't utilize the matrix ecosystem with an already usable userbase when trying to recreate discord. If i would want something opensource i would also want something decentralized.
