That's the hard part really, finding a new group chat platform.

My friends and I are switching to Matrix but finding a community there is gonna be a bit tough.

We all become too dependent on Discord and now we're paying the price when we try to leave.

    That’s really nice! I went ahead and setup Element on all my devices as well, but I’m not as enthusiastic. Most people won’t bother changing. It was a pain to make people move from WhatsApp / iMessage to Signal already
