>Discord provides no privacy and a single point of failure.

Normal users fundamentally do not give a shit.

OP is contrasting Element as a client, and it is subpar in comparison to Discord's UI/UX. No protocol differences can paper over this.

Different strokes for different folks.

FWIW, you can bridge Discord to Matrix.

It is more valuable to me to have a single universal messaging app across all my devices than it is to corksniff over UX across a couple dozen apps.

Furthermore, I'm autistic, the UI of Discord is atrocious. Completely overwhelming.

None of these points even remotely refute my comment.
