Yeah they don't seem to care about calling at all, with giving discourse such a high score.
Which is what made Discord so popular, over TeamSpeak. It made proper voice calling dead simple.
The article is entirely pointless, there’s plenty of forum and chat software, what set discord apart was voice. And anyone ranking Matrix that high has no clue what they’re talking about.
In particular, resource friendly video sharing. It's crazy how much worse the alternatives are in terms of resolution, frame rate, and RAM usage.
