With Discord announcing age verification globally, people are searching for alternatives. But a Discord alternative on the open social web might just look structurally quite different.

    But my other group that hangs out in there async every day and the occasionally jumps onto an ad-hoc voice chat when people are available to game, or sometimes shares my screen so someone else can watch what I’m doing? None of those things do that.

    …but Matrix does that.

      🤔

      Hmmmmmm. It didn’t, and when I last looked, and even in hearing people talking during this kerfuffle, it didn’t sound like it supported this, but perhaps it does. Which would be nice!

      I agree, but right now the clients aren’t quite mature enough. Once matrix 2.0 is done and merged and most clients adopt it it should be good

        What feature are you looking forward to in a 2.0 release? You know that “matrix 2.0” is already implemented, right? What is the issue with the clients as of now that makes them not nature enough?
