@trashpandaqc For the communities I run I'm trying to think of a transitional solution involving protocol bridges. Right now I have one working for Matrix<->Discord and plan to get one going for Matrix<->Stoat and Stoat<->Discord.
Trying to meet folks where they are at and give them space/time to get out (since in my experience most people are scared/werided out by non-corporate platforms, even lefties)

@incentive tbh after reading the matrix/discord comparison on the official matrix site, I don't feel all that comfortable with their moderation abilities. for example people get notified if they're banned even before joining a community, or maintain privileges if they leave and come back, it seems ripe for abuse. haven't read much about Stoat but heard it's kinda unfinished?
if everyone really wants to avoid surveillance I think it might just be down to starting Signal groups instead.

@trashpandaqc I self host the Matrix instance, so as admin am not very concerned but am aware of those issues. These are small, tight-knit communities I'm hosting.
I agree about Signal and it's my preferred method of one-on-one conversations with friends and a few group chats with those same friends. The problem with Signal is it doesn't have close parity with Discord features, and I shit you not, people get scared when I suggest Signal because "only drug dealers and terrorists use it." [1/2]
