Ditch Discord and use matrix.org instead

Hello,

I find it hypocritical that an open-source project that plans to better the open-source movement uses a closed-source platform, one with an over-reaching privacy policy.

My suggestion is to stop using Discord and use matrix.org instead, which is fully FLOSS. Matrix.org is the platform and for client you can use www.riot.im.

Here are some advantages of matrix.org:

  • Fully open-source software;
  • Decentralized! You can run your own server and you'll be able to talk with other matrix users;
  • End to end encryption (E2EE);
  • It has several clients you can use, the most well known is riot.im, which is multi-platform;
