    I get that you can replace Discord with Matrix.

    But why are people using discord over signal+jitsi in the first place?

    Is it just for parasocial relationships?

      Convenience, lack of perceived cost or complexity at the beginning of a new mainstream platform. Then just because their friends are there.

      Because the servers I follow aren’t on matrix, signal or jitsi, and neither are any of my friends.
