All Community Discord channels are now being bridged to Matrix
After having tried out the Matrix bridge for a while and Spaces now being properly released in the Matrix spec and starting to become available in clients, we have now bridged all the Discord rooms to Matrix rooms. The Matrix space is accessible via [#dlang:m.wfr.moe](https://matrix.to/#/#dlang:m.wfr.moe) or if your Matrix client does not yet support the spaces feature you can join the individual rooms by browsing the `m.wfr.moe` Room Directory. The bridge is now also self-hosted and limited to just the D discord, so it's a lot quicker than the previous solution, although the previous solution is still in place for the existing channels and will be migrated later. ![matrix screenshot](https://wfr.moe/f6iZwQ.png)

If you don't use Matrix, you can ignore this.

Discord is getting more and more monetized and is completely closed source. Matrix is not really that great, but it's better than a Discord if you are looking for something more futureproof. Personally all the times I tried Matrix, I didn't like the frontend web clients. They do feel incomplete and inconvenient. However now I just stumbled upon this client and maybe it looks somewhat promising https://cinny.in/

At the risk of bumping an old topic, I would highly recommend not limiting yourself to web clients. I personally use nheko, which is a great desktop client with support for nearly all features that are considered necessities (spaces, stickers, etc. etc. etc.).

Oh! It kind of exists: M-x shell and start vi in there. :) Ali
