I would say it’s a lot more than discord. Putting it that way doesn’t give it as much credit as it deserves. My favorite out of the laundry list of features and benefits is that you can synchronize your messaging across all platforms into a single interoperable client if your choosing. You can use a better standard while not having to bug others to switch.
I just had to go and look this up to get more details
https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/
Looks like you need to be hosting your own server, then you can install plugins for separate services. Very cool..
I'd love to tie together a few different systems I'm using but I worry that the bridges will break every time a platform does an update
Have long have you been using it? How's your experience been? What bridges are you using?
Just sign up for beeper they host all major bridges including imessage and then if you need additional bridges you can self host them
Very interesting
