Hey #mastodon !
With #discord doing its age verification thing, where are your communities migrating?
#matrix ? #discourse ? Anywhere else?

@alxd We're evaluating Matrix and IRC atm.
Matrix has all the bells and whistles, but it's also quite resource-hungry, and tedious to maintain. Federation for smaller servers is likely not an option - making it rather unwieldy, when many clients don't support multiple homeservers.
IRCv3 has some nice features, like message history and replies, but also major friction points like poor support for uploading images via the client.
At least our data will be our own, and we can use it how WE want.

@CFDS @alxd Fractal (Linux), FluffyChat, Tammy and Commet support multiple accounts and Element X Android currently has an experimental implementation. Maybe one of those can be an option for your users.
If you don't federate, resource usage of synapse should be modest. Otherwise there are settings you can tune. https://github.com/element-hq/element-meta/discussions/1832
