most people are on discord
There’s a lot of people on Discord (around 200 million monthly active users) but it’s still the smallest out of all the major messaging services. Telegram has over double the number of users, for example.

Yes but it’s a small effort to sign up for somewhere else. Matrix is just as good and they do care about your privacy.
I find it really weird for a project like Home Assistant where the whole goal of the package is to wrestle control of your home from the big tech clouds. Only to put their own comms data in a big tech cloud… :X

Matrix is not as good. It’s getting there with spaces and matrix 2.0 on the horizon but it’s still a bit clunky.
