So, #Benben can now change your status message on #Matrix if you want 
This is implemented in the current trunk code in the repository. Here's some info:
* Your configuration file needs a new section. This is documented in the manual already. It'll also check that your perms don't have read/write/execute bits set for group and world at startup, and warn you if they do.
* When you start Benben, it will grab your current status message. Then, when you exit Benben cleanly (i.e. not using ctrl-c or when it crashes), it will restore the status message you had when you first started Benben.
* Your online presence (online/offline/whatever) is not changed, just the message.
* After a song has played a minimum of 10 seconds, and the song is 15 seconds or longer, it will change your status message to "Now playing in Benben: <title or filename>". It'll use the filename (specifically the basename of the filename, not the full path) for things like MIDIs. Strings longer than 255 characters are truncated.
* There's a --no-matrix CLI option that temporarily and completely disables Matrix integration. Alternatively, just don't put matrix stuff in your config file.
* Obviously not all clients show your status message. FluffyChat does, but I don't think Element does.
No extra external library dependencies were added, just my CL-RemiMatrix Lisp library. Reika will pull this in automatically at build time. Be sure to do reika force-update before building.

This is very refreshing to hear, especially from 15-year olds. It's encouraging to see that they are aware about this.
However, #Discord has created such a social impact that people have moulded the way they form, manage & participate in communities.
Apps & ecosystems like #Matrix may not provide the exact replacement they may seek. One might argue this is a cool opportunity to re-evaluate community work flows but thats an uphill struggle before even it starts...

That's it.
Cancelled my Nitro subscription (bye bye paying $4, because they never raised prices for already subscribed), and moved all the people I was still talking to there to Matrix.
Now Discord is only for non-private stuff, like official game servers and FOSS projects servers, basically as support hotline.
All my personal, private talks are now on E2EE channels - Matrix for friends, Messenger for family.
Free at last

Be the change you want to see. If you're leaving #Discord and heading to #Matrix, I'm opening some spaces for some of my favorite subjects that don't currently exist. Let's start a new community.
Hockey - #hockey:zerojay.com
Overwatch - #overwatch:zerojay.com

La team #xmpp vous utilisez quoi comme serveur ? Depuis quelques versions je n'arrive plus à faire tourner Prosody.
Je cherche quelque chose de simple à maintenir, peu gourmand et surtout containerisé.
J'ai installé #matrix (Continuwuity) en 10 minutes, ça ne consomme que 200 mo de ram donc le discours XMPP plus simple ça ne tient plus 😁
RT apprécié 🤩

Боже, как я рад, что смог переделать работу сервера для Matrix. Теперь, чтобы войти на свой аккаунт можно использовать любой клиент, но в выборе сервера надо будет указать fleacf.space, потому что водя x.fleacf.space может выйти ошибка с входом на сервер.
Можно воспользоваться веб-версией: https://chat.fleacf.space

Removed Discord notifications for my server items and moved them all over to #Matrix (via #Apprise). Getting pretty close to dropping my final notice to my Discord friends with information on where they can reach me and shutting down my account for good.

@paun @bundestag Weisst du ,warum nicht auf eine Matrix basierende Infrastruktur gesetzt wurde?
Die Gematik, die französische Regierung und Bundeswehr benutzt das schon fleissig. Zu kompliziert zum schnell aufsetzen? @bsi - gint es dazu Informationen von euch?
