Discord age verification now locks stage channels, DMs, and adult content behind four ID methods — each with different privacy trade-offs worth knowing.
If they had a super cheap $1 tier just for being able to use custom emotes anywhere, I’d honestly love that. Though I feel like the $5/month for Plutonium is a lot better than $10/month that discord nitro goes for
yea, that’s exactly why they don’t do that. They know the only main feature that they offer that people who subscribe actually want is the emotes everywhere, they won’t offer a super cheap tier offering only that as the jump would be people on the 1$ tier and then people on the 10$ tier. Nobody would do nitro basic.
Yeah, and that’s the cool part on Matrix.
It’s not really P2P yet, but it’s federated (including the storage), and they have a project looking to make it P2P.
The protocol itself obviously no, but you have clients really similar to Discord, such as Cinny, Fluffy Chat, Extera, Extera Next, Nheko, Commet, Tacit, Sable, etc.
In my experience it has been a 1:1 discord replacement. It has channels, all kinds of emojis, video/voice calls, and multiple clients that give a very similar appearance to discord.
I wish they’d do a cheap “Nitro Classic” style tier, rather than just having only “Nitro Premium”.

They don’t have either.
It’s called Plutonium or something. They do have the equivalent of Nitro.
Yes but unlike Discord you can just ignore it.
Actually not. They do impose really stupid upload limits.
Storage costs build up fast, the real solution is just handling peer to peer file sharing.

Matrix is cool, it’s just not a Discord replacement.
It can be, actually.

How has it not been the same for you?
Not stupid at all when you’re the one paying for storage.
