I want matrix/element to be able to replace discord

They are not ready

  • threads don't really work
  • scrolling up in a conversation is jumpy as fuxk and nearly unusable
  • voice room discovery is very weak (who is online, who is talking, etc)

Maybe in another 5 years...

    Oic, so not Matrix itself, but Element adding another service in its client.
    Does it have any amount of integration though? - As in, can someone using a Matrix client other than Element (and not supporting the Jitsi thingy) know if any 2 users of Element are doing an audio chat?

    I run my own Matrix server. (tuwunel ftw)

    Element 1-on-1 calls are based on WebRTC, and are native as I see it. I'm not sure if this works with multiple people, haven't tried it yet but I think so.

    The video calls work over a Jitsi plugin, but it's quite bad. Element Call is a Matrix-native video solution and is currently in beta.
