Discord vs Matrix - What’s Your Preference? (beehaw.org)

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?

I'm really glad Discourse has caught on because of how nice its UI/UX is. Although I've seen complaints in the Arch Linux community that it's not as lightweight or no-javascript friendly as more traditional forum software.

UI/UX is incredibly important in on-boarding and retaining users.
