character limit, upload limit, community limit, no username per server unless you pay for a subscription? hard pass.
This won’t become federated simply because of the fact you have to pay to unlock these features. If I made a fluxer server then I wouldn’t charge my users for having a stupid animated gif avatar. I know discord is shit but this thing ain’t the alternative.
All those features are only paid if you use their servers. They’re still reworking their self hosting version (they had one but they’re simplifying it) and if you self host all that is free.
So far I’m lovin matrix, bit it’s not really discord alternative, I mean there is no screen sharing or Voice Call ig?
But because I’m into computers and Linux there are somany spaces filled with fellow penguins, I’m not sure if someone else can find rooms for their own hobbies though…
I think with how Matrix is structured clients can support features that are not part of the core, including video calls. That said, it does mean you need to use one of the clients that support it (I think the most popular ones do), I think it’s built on jitsi, and doesn’t support screensharing (at least not with audio).
Isn’t that just for the version they host? Most of the docs say all features are or will be available in the source code. Although if federated and interacting with their hosted communities would you be restricted?

animated gif avatar? hard pass. avatars need to be under 32kb they transmit and load so often.
