I think they mean in the sense that it’s not a native desktop app (or mobile)

I’d really really love for matrix to take off and to effectively replace discord, with continued development so things like stickers are supported in more clients, and to let servers be leaner.

However, if the friends and communities I want to talk to are all on discord, it’s hard to pioneer the alternative chat.

I’ll keep my matrix account and use it when I can, but discord will have to be on all my devices for the foreseeable future

That looks pretty cool, although it doesn’t appear to be FOSS. If I could use an app like that and self host the server or use next cloud to sync it that would be very cool. I noticed in their FAQ they’re going to stop supporting nest and Google home voice commands, so if it were foss and you could integrate the server with home assistant that would’ve been super cool.

I use sublime merge because I really like ST and want to further support the dev. I wish it had more integrations with github (and theoretically github alternatives), but I understand the reasoning not to. Before SM came out I just used the command line exclusively.
