  • Right, but with Matrix it’s a learning curve just to get started. That’s not to mention running a server either, discord makes that whole process much easier and done in a few buttons, and you don’t have to worry about uptime or any of that unlike self hosting, and it’s free. That makes it even harder to get friends onto the platform who don’t care about any of that, despite how good it may be considered to be.

    It is absolutely a good messaging app. Valid place to host a community? Debatable, sure. In fact it’s so good, that Revolt is almost a direct copy of it as shown above.

    Whether that makes it a good app to use is another matter. Don’t know about the spyware, or it’s economic sustainability, but it has been around for years and years so it must be doing something right in terms of being sustainable, because it has sustained itself.

    Regardless of Discord though, the biggest issue with moving platforms is getting people to move there. It’s taken this long to get some of my friend group off of WhatsApp, and some still stubbornly stick to Facebook Messenger (true particularly at universities).

    Well here you’re still treating the problem as if all men are the same and the problem. No, men only spaces aren’t like that, maybe some are, but they’ll be few and far between. Both sexes have their toxic gatherings. Perhaps one more than the other, but that’s not what you’re saying.

    Also saying suicide and drug addiction are self inflicted issues and therefore you shouldn’t help them??? What??? That is absolutely an indicator of a wider problem at play that needs to be worked on. People do those things to escape the reality they’re in because it does not support them. Sound familiar? You have more in common than you think.

    I will agree though that there is an unfair advantage that men have, and all the issues you brought up there are real. Both issues can be things that need to be solved, it’s not either or.
