      These are the desktop ads that are already there, they’re bringing the quests (that, for now, have an off switch) to mobile

    What an excellent place to remind people of the Free and Open Source Element project built upon the Matrix platform.

    They, in my opinion, desperately need contributors to provide the same level of features as Discord, particularly with community and moderation features such as a landing page where users can agree with rules and terms before using the server.

      Hate this marketing, player-centric advertising platform is an oxymoron.

      Element is run by a for-profit company. Plus, it’s not even remotely similar to Discord. Apples and oranges.

        Element is an app for “Matrix” (thats like lemmy but for discord) that is developed by a for-profit company (the company mostly manages deployments for big governments). But not only is it open source, its just one client of many for matrix. The vast majority are developed by individuals (Cinny, FluffyChat).

        Plus, it’s not even remotely similar to Discord.

        There are probably discord features missing from matrix but they certainly have a lot of similarities. Though tbf Cinny is the closest to discord in terms of design and functionality not element (but they both are matrix clients).
