I'm curious if someone could build a discord replacement on top of matrix, most importantly with voice chat and video streaming functionality. Discord is clearly focused on monetization at this point, the only changes happening now are ones that make your experience objectively worse. I've also been on Linux for a few years now and discord still doesn't support streaming game audio.

And before someone suggests it, I tried Revolt, and it's not there yet. The latest client (as of a few months ago) couldn't find my audio devices at all, and came with a big warning about how their audio backend was being completely rewritten, and what I was using was now legacy.

Absolutely. Element is already quite close to that, and once Element Call and native Matrix group VoIP matures more, hopefully it'll be even easier to converge on Discord's featureset.
