Yup slim is what I’ve been using for ages. I’m disappointed that recently I can no longer get messages in it, but I accept that. Just have to open a browser and login there. Sigh

If you aren’t on the same server, encryption doesn’t always work very well, and you semi-frequently end up with conversations where you can’t read each other’s messages. Id you try get signed out of your app on a given device, you’ll likely lose past conversations. Etc. It’s just… obnoxious.
And, you’d be wrong. Works don’t lose their copyright just because they go out of print and are hard to find. Thanks to Disney, copyright survived for the length of the authors life plus 90 years.
Eh, I have a serious love-hate relationship with Matrix. For groups its fine. But trying to communicate with individuals on matrix is a major PITA, because of its end-to-end encryption which causes constant issues, IME. It’s great, in theory. But, in practice is just far more of a PITA than its worth.
I feel like this is true. As much as it’s ‘allowed’ to transition to be the opposite sex, it’s still somehow not really ok for girls to just like to be outside and dirty and play sports or whatever. Wear whatever you want, and screw everyone else.
I just dropped ours down to 2screens, for now…I still think we may well cancel fully. But, we’ll see.
I understand why I should care about encryption, in theory. In practice, 90% of the time, I don’t. If I’m texting my kids ‘hey where are you?’ or my husband: what do you want for dinner?’ or a friend, ‘hey, come hang out!’ - I just don’t care. And putting up with all the hassles that come with encryption via matrix… It’s just, generally, far more hassle than it’s worth, IMHO.
Honestly, this is our experience too. My kids play on their computers and the Xbox probably 90% of the time. The PS5 getting very minimal use. The switch at least has the virtue of being portable, and thus gets hauled around.
It’s also very hard, if not impossible in some cases to find old conversations on discord, vs forums where they’re mostly preserved for eternity.
Yeah, we have a PS5 and keep considering trading it in for a second Xbox…
