    Matrix has great bots (moderation and otherwise). You just need to make your own matrix server or join one that has this stuff enabled. Developers arent „users“ they’re tech and they should absolutely be able to configure mod bots and such.

    I get that matrix isnt as easy as discord and it never will be/should be. Corpo Media is an ad machine to make money. Thats why they‘re so streamlined. You can join matrix.org today and discuss with thousands of folks in many communities.

    Feel like making your own? Then do it. It’s becoming easier day by day to host your own.

      There is a big difference between “is unable to maintain bots due to lack of skills” and “is unable to maintain bots due to lack of time and motivation”.

        There is a big difference between maintain and download a docker-compose.yml and typing docker compose up -d

          What about security updates? What about monitoring? What about the underlying infrastructure? What about even picking what software to use and configuring it?

          I haven’t heard of docker compose up guess-what-i-want-and-just-do-it yet, but I guess there is some LLM that can hallucinate one for you.

            Obviously, having discord gobble up your data is more comfortable in any case. Still, its not that hard, especially for a tool as popular as matrix. I‘m not saying its no work, I‘m saying its not much.
