I see bunch of people trying Matrix due to Discord news, so:Try out Cinny and Fluffychat instead of Element for more Discord like experienceSave the encryption passphrase thing your client gives you. Feel free to experiment with encryption, but my best experience with it is in 1to1 chats (and i have my passphrase saved, which is not your password)Other than those things, it's been fine. Bit slow at times perhaps. But it sends and receives text. And cinny and fluffychat let you add stickers and custom emotes (unlimited and free :) )Edit: this post is for DISCORD USERS, not you nerds following me. I dont care if you use two rocks and smoke signals to write perfect encrypted messages.Edit2: I fixed some brainfarts here. #Matrix #Discord

@aks@scalie.zone element is best if you’re expecting to do calls like discord though

@aks Don't agree at all. Use Element and Element X. Encrypt everything. Works just fine (nowadays).

@troed Element lacks features what Discord users may want, such as custom emotes and stickers. Cinny literally looks like Discord.

@aks I'm thinking the reason the people on my extended-family server don't have encryption key issues (anymore) is that we're running Element's apps. Yeah that shouldn't be the case, but ...I could test this of course by asking the Discord-using kids to try out Cinny.

@selea @troed @aks I don't think so.Cinny's development also slowed down a bit lately, so don't expect many changes.And their desktop app is even more out of date than the web version (and lacks things like attaching images from the clipboard) so definitely use the web one.
