Also, weirdly, a lot of people seem to use Discord for things used to be (and I would say should) be on a forum (or community, magazine, etc.)
Trying to follow the thread of a discussion about some obscure point you’re interested in is much easier when it’s in a thread, instead of an undifferentiated chat log with a bunch of unrelated cross-talk.
I never used Discord but used google hangouts before switching to Telegram and Matrix (the former for family and the latter for everything else).

Does matrix have a voice/video functionality or is it strictly text chat?
It has video+audio calls but not push-to-talk and there are no “voice only”-rooms or whatever it is discord has
