The Matrix.org network has great potential, but after years of dealing with glitches, slow performance, poor UX, and one too many failures, I’m done with it.
i feel like it shouldnt be this hard, but I’m not the one developing matrix, nor XMPP, nor the 3rd smaller option you the reader is wanting me to list that I am unaware of
Discord is where people are at. You start with something else you’re asking for another Matrix or XMPP because people will not understand a new interface
I am glad someone can admit it failed and we have to learn from this. I am just wondering what it takes to succeed.
start with a discord clone
make it e2ee
make it federated

Don’t fucking clone the godaweful mess that is Discord. Please, for the love of God start with something else.
Discord is what people like and are used to though. If you want the average user to switch it needs to be somewhat familiar.
