I think you give Discord too much credit even with that. They're closed source and have very little openness with their data. We have no clue how they store and archive our data and conversations, or what they do with it. I don't think the open source community should trust Discord an inch.

I'm really hoping an open source alternative starts gaining traction.

A agree with everything you just wrote. Discord is the platform of choice for many projects because most people are already there, so it increases engagement (and often enough some people actually ask for an official discord).

I personally prefer projects to use matrix, despite all it's faults. Some already do.

I've not heard of matrix before. Looking it up, it looks pretty cool. Kind of a terrible name tbh.
