This user is being extremely pedantic, I recently moved my discord server to a matrix instance and I promise you, it is not that hard. Download Element, make an account in the app, log in. It takes no longer than any other service.

Wdym, that's 10 whole paragraphs with 27 whole sentences, what do I look like some kind of old person (like idk 29? Gross) who can read more than one line at a time? I, The TikTok generation, am incapable of sustaining concentration for more than 30sec at a time! It's too hard even though it explicitly lays out each step to make it easier and even includes a couple screenshots!

I know you're being sarcastic but think about it...it's not far from reality

Some real old-man-yells-at-cloud vibes coming from this comment

Matrix isn't competing with the experience of setting up another account on a different platform, with email, username, passwords, recovery key, display theme, notifications settings, content warnings, etc..

It's competing with being able to click on a link to join a subgroup of a social network that people are already a part of and already signed into.
