    but being accessible through a classic forum style webpage through matrix protocol

    Why would you do this though...

    [–] Marvie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    Because one of the things I find most annoying about discord is how the information is much less accessible. Before you could search something on google and find some niche forum talking about it. Nowadays that forum is probably a discord server and the information is hard to find

    How does running it through Matrix solve that problem?
