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.

the problem isn’t switching, the problem is making all the other people using It to switch too, not everyone cares about security or ads
I have happily succeeded. While there are some communities that are still on Discord, the vast majority of my friends are accessible on Matrix.
Yep most of the communities I like are on Discord nothing I can’t do.
One of the interesting features about Matrix is that it supports some degree of interoperability. The Beeper phone app, for all the fuss about its ill-fated attempts to bridge to iMessage, can connect to Discord for basic no-frills text chat.
I refuse to install Discord on my phone but use Beeper for DMs and group texting.
most of the communities period are on discord
even the one that really have no business being in there and really should be on a forum

i dont use it and im curious, what interests? i tought is was FOSS?
FOSS does not mean there are no business interests. Think about Mozilla Firefox, Postgres, RedHat, etc.
sure but they are usually more tamed. what is matrix doing exactly?
