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?
Please stop using questionable logic to promote large companies, they do not need your free help for more marketing.

There is no correlation between pay and quality work. I'm genuinely shocked this is even an argument held on a platform running on FLOSS.
Some might be more "convenient" on having an easier on-boarding, and even that is questionable, but regardless that's not the same as "better quality".
