In an apparent effort to boost revenues, gaming social media startup Discord plans to implement ads into its free service. The step is expected in the coming days after 9 years of ad-free experience.
I don’t think people on this sub use it, but it’s great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

That hasn’t been an issue for a year if you’ve enabled sliding sync. It is very fast nowadays. Look into element-x https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android
Element X is a client.
Element doesn’t support sliding sync
Sliding sync doesn’t make joining Matrix HQ any faster. This is depending on your hardware and whether or not you have any workers configured. For most users it isn’t worth joining that room anyway.
Why not? I’m not in mhq but why is it different than other rooms?
It’s the amount of users and servers in the room. When you join it on a new server it needs to process and verify the state of the room and agree it with all the servers. As the state is massive in this room it can take a very long time to join it.
If you want to learn more read this: https://matrix.org/docs/older/stateres-v2/
Thx. So the first time the server joins the room it’s slow. Any subsequent joins are faster
Correct! Although if you are the only user on the server subsequent joins don’t matter.
