    Haven’t used matrix though. Is it encrypted? Does it have the forum functionality of Discord?

    Yes and yes.

      Still waiting for Stoat (aka Revolt) to kick in because Matrix is too complex to bring my friends over, and also lacks cool Discord features like bots

              Like Lara from Discord I guess? I don’t know any other type of music bot, but I want something that plays music from a specific streaming site with a command

                Hmm, I’m not familiar but you can find a curated list of bots here: https://matrix.org/bots/

                Some of them are actually frameworks for building bots (maubot) and so they also list more curated bots: https://plugins.mau.bot/

                There are also plenty others floating around out there on GitHub etc.

        It’s more-or-less a self-hostable Discord clone (but there are plenty of public instances you can join).

        There are also Matrix bridges that let you join chats on other apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc.
