Why are we telling people to go somewhere else that makes no sense
It's not a replacement for lemmy.world , but rather a backup site for announcements when .world goes down.
Doesn't have to be done specifically over Discord, does it
Most people know Discord compared to Matrix lol.
Most people know Reddit compared to Lemmy lol.
You're already asking a lot of reddit refugees to use Matrix over Discord, most who don't give much of a shit what's FOSS or not.
That makes sense, sometimes you have to go with the pragmatic option instead of the ideal. I think we don't give the non-tech-inclined user enough credit when it comes to their ability to adapt to change though and I see value in encouraging the use of FOSS wherever possible since wider adoption can encourage further development.
