I'm considering switching from Matrix / Element to rocket.chat for a small instance (< 10 people) I host for my friends. However there is something during the setup process that gives me pause:
Basically element / matrix was supposed to be a replacement for Discord but it's missing a lot of the polish. I've been hosting an instance for a year and I haven't really seen any notable improvements. There's no GIF keyboard after almost 8 years, large rooms take forever to load history, you can't play videos directly inside of a link preview, read receipts don't always work, etc. Basically just open source jank. Overall though I really appreciate the fact that it's entirely self contained, open source and the federation part is nice.
Since you mentioned you’re looking for a discord replacement. Revolt
