Its looking like Microsoft is gonna buy Discord. Preferably open source, and has a big userbase, and has Windows and Linux option. (but mainly windows because i only game on windows now.)

    No, you can’t. There’s no such features in Element and advertising it does is only going to lead to disappointed new users.

    Again, when Spaces land, then we can re-evaluate the situation.

        Do you remember Mumble voice channel hierarchy in a server? With fast exchange and without having to start a call per room. They want that with video too (this is why Mumble is not a replacement for them too).

        To emulate Element within Discord, all you need to do is make a new Discord “server” with one single text channel and just leave it at that.

        Obviously it’s no longer Discord with such limitations, but that’s Element in a nutshell.

            Communities aren’t supported on mobile and aren’t part of the spec

              And communities are simply glorified collections of channels without any of Discord’s features like access control with flairs and invites and such. The whole structure of a Discord “server” is wholly incompatible with the current community support.

              Element devs themselves have stated they’re gonna burn community support with fire and replace it with Spaces.
