Element is now getting closer and closer to be a 100% viable Discord alternative. Now, as a beta feature you can group your rooms and conversations in a public, private or personal, way, which means you can have something similar to Discord channels with various rooms for certain topics.
Even though it is only available on Element right now, it seems it might come to other Matrix clients in the future as well.
Neat, although there is a long way to go until we get to feature parity with Discord. I’d say that we will be way in 2022 until we can sell Matrix/Element as a Discord clone. Until then it is “just” a good FOSS messenger.
Considering it went from WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram competitor to that AND a potential Discord competitor in such a short time, we can at least hope its development goes even further.
