I agree that not everything has to be decentralized, but why not replace Discord with Matrix given hew mature and nice Matrix is? IMO, this is one of those things that should be decentralized.
Edit: for everyone asking why, read https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord. The main point I care about is that as a free-to-use app with no ads, Discord is not profitable despite the Nitro subscribers. The operating cost to keep up with millions of messages a day is not cheap. They will, at some point, sell our data.
We've been using Discord for 3 or 4 years now, he has a community built there
How about we bridge the channels across to rooms on Matrix? That could work.
Why when Discord works great?
Read my edit on my parent comment. Basically, Reddit works "great" too, yet people still want to move away from it. The same with Discord.
