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?
Funny, I feel the same way about Matrix clients, instead. They're not that bad, but they could use quite a bit of polish (and they also don't rake in millions a year, so it's not an exactly fair comparison).
I guess it just comes down to what you're used to
