    For me, the benefit of discord is not the text chat but the voice aspect. With push to talk/voice activated transmission and low latency for gaming.

    The voice features of matrix are more of a conference call thing.

    Until this gets implemented in matrix (not sure if ever) I’ll continue hosting mumble (or TeamSpeak)

      interesting… but i understand the appeal of quickly jumping into a voice room. other than that, of course not as fancy of a ux experience, mumble would be quite suitable here… .
