    Literally just discord with a commitment to privacy - which isn’t worth very much until they implement encryption.

    Lots of branding, with no clear features to set it apart.

    Perhaps one of the alpha users can convince me otherwise. Why does this need to be it’s own product instead of just contributing to Matrix? Matrix bridges to everything already and has essentially the same mandate (with the bonus of federation.)

    This really needs a comparison chart. Also I really wish they just made a Matrix client instead of starting their own protocol. They claim that they will implement a Matrix bridge but that seems like a lot of effort compared to just using Matrix.

    And most importantly. I want security information. Is this end-to-end encrypted?
