Like any other major network incumbent, Discord cannot simply be side-stepped altogether; appropriate off-ramps are required.
#Matrix bridging enables an incremental, non-disruptive transition from the old to the new.
We invite anyone interested in the development of #CommuneApp to join our newly opened space: https://matrix.to/#/#home:commune.sh
The first half of our product rollout starts next month, as we begin publicly testing our uniquely community-oriented Matrix client.

Discord and matric are room based chat services. You join a room and there’s a chat around some subject going on which you can participate in. I use it for my DND group to discuss upcoming games and our general lives. Some larger communities form on these apps. Say, game emulation, people who talk about a video game, college members and alumni, people in a city, weed in a country, youtubers, etc.
This seems to be a bridge that copies messages from discord and sends them to matrix, or copies messages from matrix and sends them to discord. Allowing users from one service to talk to the other. The intent is to slowly bring members of a larger discord community over to the matrix server.
