Yikes, hope matrix really improves soon.

Not really. The network is currently undergoing massive attacks of spammers who flood people’s servers, rooms and dms with child porn and videos of animals being tortured.

Discord is a shithole but we need to make sure people are aware that the alternatives have their own set of issues too
