I want matrix/element to be able to replace discord

They are not ready

threads don't really work
scrolling up in a conversation is jumpy as fuxk and nearly unusable
voice room discovery is very weak (who is online, who is talking, etc)

Maybe in another 5 years...

Matrix has voice rooms‽

element does, based on jitsi webrtc

Oic, so not Matrix itself, but Element adding another service in its client.
Does it have any amount of integration though? - As in, can someone using a Matrix client other than Element (and not supporting the Jitsi thingy) know if any 2 users of Element are doing an audio chat?

I run my own Matrix server. (tuwunel ftw)

Element 1-on-1 calls are based on WebRTC, and are native as I see it. I'm not sure if this works with multiple people, haven't tried it yet but I think so.

The video calls work over a Jitsi plugin, but it's quite bad. Element Call is a Matrix-native video solution and is currently in beta.

I don't know. I know the first implementation in element just had jitsi rooms but you couldn't see if anyone was in them, so discoverablity was really bad
