It really is no different than discord. You create an account, download the client, log in and that’s that. You don’t have to self host it or use any instance that isn’t the main instance. Just go to matrix.org and sign up.

It does it well, it’s just clunky. It works perfectly fine, and I recommend it over discord ang day of the week. Except Tuesdays. Tuesdays I recommend IRC.

If it’s clunky, then it does not do it well for most users. All features might even work well individually, but the user experience is very important too for less tech-savvy people.

It is no more clunky than discord was a couple years ago. Setting up a server is very clunky, but the average Joe doesn’t have to do it.

How do you do voice calls/voice group calls in Matrix?

In element there’s a button on top of the chat. I press that and it’s calling.
