digitalmars.D.announce - All Community Discord channels are now being bridged to Matrix

After having tried out the Matrix bridge for a while and Spaces

The Matrix space is accessible via 
[#dlang:m.wfr.moe](https://matrix.to/#/#dlang:m.wfr.moe) or if 
your Matrix client does not yet support the spaces feature you 
can join the individual rooms by browsing the `m.wfr.moe` Room 
Directory.

The bridge is now also self-hosted and limited to just the D 
discord, so it's a lot quicker than the previous solution, 
although the previous solution is still in place for the existing 
channels and will be migrated later.

What does all that mean? Is that something that only Discord users 
should understand be interested in? :)

This is for Matrix users, so that they may communicate with the Discord 
channels without using Discord.

If you don't use Matrix, you can ignore this.

Yeah, emacs is a fine operating system in need of a good editor.

It would be awesome if someone wrote an editor that runs inside Emacs. 
Oh! It kind of exists: M-x shell and start vi in there. :)

want to have matrix work just as well.

Discord is getting more and more monetized and is completely 
closed source.
Matrix is not really that great, but it's better than a Discord 
if you are looking for
something more futureproof. Personally all the times I tried 
Matrix, I didn't like the
frontend web clients. They do feel incomplete and inconvenient. 
However now I just
stumbled upon this client and maybe it looks somewhat promising

At the risk of bumping an old topic, I would highly recommend not 
limiting yourself to web clients. I personally use nheko, which 
is a great desktop client with support for nearly all features 
that are considered necessities (spaces, stickers, etc. etc. 
etc.).
