What's wrong with Discord? Most of the projects I want to follow have Discord server, often connected with an IRC channel. I miss a few features from Slack, but in general I'm happy with Discord. It's still free from what I can see. So, what happened to make "OSS projects" etc. to stop using Discord? (Honestly asking, I don't follow Discord itself at all)

Discord data mines their users to hell and back and even scans your computer. https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/43lqyb/why_is_d...

It has no business being the default chat of open source projects. Especially when there's something amazing and fully free like Matrix.
