Maybe that would help because I have a really hard time understanding how matrix works.

I was immediately gonna comment “but does it support element-call” and to my surprise:

Supporting both, 1:1 calls over WebRTC, and voice channels with MatrixRTC + LiveKit

So to my knowledge this is the first client thats not an element fork that supports the new call system 🎉

Looks like it was added only a week ago, so maybe there will be some bugs, but still im very happy to finally see this in an independent client.

This seems like the better alternative to discord than the other centralized platforms

Looks good, I fiddled around with it for a bit. For now, I prefer FluffyChat. I‘m actually wondering how little it is mentioned in the recent pop up of discord alternatives / matrix clients given how polished and easy to use it is.
