I'd really really love for matrix to take off and to effectively replace discord, with continued development so things like stickers are supported in more clients, and to let servers be leaner.

However, if the friends and communities I want to talk to are all on discord, it's hard to pioneer the alternative chat.

I'll keep my matrix account and use it when I can, but discord will have to be on all my devices for the foreseeable future

I had to fight to get my friends to move from Messenger to Discord, and man, I dunno if I could convince them to swap to Matrix until Discord's enshittification levels start reaching the reddit-esque point of affecting the core user experience in favor of profit

That's kinda the problem with community-based experiences.
