A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Discord is no match for Matrix
As much as I'd like to agree, comparing matrix and discord is not a direct comparison. They serve different purposes in my opinion. Matrix also lacks features people use discord for.
I would prefer to use matrix 100x over discord, but all my friends use discord soooo
I hesitate to call such people friends
I want to like Matrix. I really do. You have no idea how bad I want to leave Discord's locked-down, upsell-laden, profit-driven proprietary garbage in my past and only connect via relay when I connect at all. I set up my own home server, talked a few friends into it, familiarized myself with every client for it I could find on F-Droid...
but Matrix is just so bad. E2EE is cool but it means that chat logs don't sync unless devices are manually paired and even then sometimes randomly fail because the client sending the E2EE key is buggy, Element is the only mobile client I've found that supports voice calls at all and the situation on desktop is not much better, there's no way to define stickers or custom emoji... I'm willing to do a lot of legwork to work around a platform's shortcomings, especially a platform that's FOSS, but good grief. Admittedly most of that is the fault of the clients, but if the matrix protocol is so complicated that no third party app can get even half of it down and doesn't have features that apps like Signal and Telegram beat it to by half a decade, it's a really, really tough sell.
I prefer Matrix
