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?

    Yeah at this point Discord has achieved network effect on top of their superior user experience.

      I find it interesting that people use “superior user experience” about Discord. Alternatives must really be poor, because everything about Discord feels poorly designed to me — and I hate using it every time I go there (thus, I don’t use it a lot). IRC is a calming quiet ocean in comparison.
