On the side bar it lists the following:
- [Matrix/Element]Dead
- Discord
“Discord” is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as “Dead”, as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?
Moderation controls.
Could you elaborate?
Matrix is very primitive compared to Discord, where you can set roles for users, restrictions on users, voice chats, the controls for individual channels and subgroups within a guild/“server”.
Each matrix chat is it’s own channel. To admin multiple channels as you would on discord you just have to set up multiple matrix chats held by a common owner.
There is a mod role but you’re right that you can’t make custom ones though I honestly don’t see much need to for a simple privacy community.
And I think matrix has voice now.
But yah I get what you’re saying. Thank you for the elaboration.
