chat interface, no advice needed
Tried to see if I would hate Discord less with a light theme.
The verdict: It's better, but still too cluttered and I prefer Matrix on Element.
(I know literally all of these are crappy to varying degrees, not currently up for talking about deeper issues or discussing choices. I'd be interested in hearing about your interface experiences and preferences, though!)

@ljwrites element is definitely nicer for some things, but it hides some of my dms in weird places on my laptop which i do not appreciate
i also find its groupchat interface to be clunkier than discords at times (threads seem to have no purpose except to send me notifications that take 3x the clicks to clear) tho the fact that it has way fewer features does allow other aspects to be streamlined

@Satsuma And having to manually invite users to every room in a space, that one's a riot ha ha (as in, I'm surprised the users haven't rioted yet)

@ljwrites yeah!!! i mean i guess sometimes it’d be handy to have subgroups but you should at least be able to choose to batch em as a single invite/accept!!!!!

@Satsuma I hadn't thought of that! But yeah, sounds like it should be a configuration at the space/room level, like do you want to invite everyone to all rooms, and even if that's set at the space level it should be overridable at the room setting level, like this is a mods-only room and requires a separate invitation.

@ljwrites too true

@Satsuma Gotta give credit where it's due, FOSS could learn a LOT about usability from these evil, soul-sucking corporate products.
