I know Element sucks compared to Discord but with more users and potential funding interest from that user base growth, it can get a lot better and snowball to fast improvements. Blender was the butt of jokes until version 2.8. Like 15 years of being easily dismissed as major commercial production worthy. Element can get better. It's the story of pretty much all the well regarded general consumer targeted open source software we use today
Only if you don't care at all about privacy, agency, or continued access to your communities regardless of corporate whims.
Yes, as can other Matrix clients, and the network itself. And they are. :)
I feel like Matrix already hit the "elbow point" where it's getting good fast. It's very usable, I have ~10 contacts I regularly communicate with on Matrix.
