    Yeah, it’s a bit at odds with their “free from corporate influence” angle. Absolutely no reason to not use Matrix.

      I actually do not like Discord and wish they did not use it. That said “absolutely no reason not to use Matrix” is clearly an objectively untrue statement.

      Andreas has always been very pragmatic. He will choose the tools he likes best.

      How does the make it non free from corporate influence. The hate boner towards discord is getting ridiculous sometimes. Yeah it sucks to use a repo thats not googleable and not open source bur discord is an objectively better user experience than matrix

        How does the make it non free from corporate influence.

        Do they require Discord and depend on it? Yes.
        Is Discord corporate? Yes.
        Are they then still free from corporate influence? Nope. H Simply put, if Discord suddenly implemented weird rules the Ladybird devs would have to comply with, they’d simply have to follow suit or break their main communication channel.

          And of course something will likely happen like that. They couldn’t help themselves, so it’s inevitable.
