After having tried out the Matrix bridge for a while and Spaces now being properly released in the Matrix spec and starting to become available in clients, we have now bridged all the Discord rooms to Matrix rooms.

The Matrix space is accessible via #dlang:m.wfr.moe or if your Matrix client does not yet support the spaces feature you can join the individual rooms by browsing the m.wfr.moe Room Directory.

The bridge is now also self-hosted and limited to just the D discord, so it's a lot quicker than the previous solution, although the previous solution is still in place for the existing channels and will be migrated later.

why are you guys using matrix over discord?

Discord is getting more and more monetized and is completely closed source.
Matrix is not really that great, but it's better than a Discord if you are looking for
something more futureproof. Personally all the times I tried Matrix, I didn't like the
frontend web clients. They do feel incomplete and inconvenient. However now I just
stumbled upon this client and maybe it looks somewhat promising https://cinny.in/

At the risk of bumping an old topic, I would highly recommend not limiting yourself to web clients. I personally use nheko, which is a great desktop client with support for nearly all features that are considered necessities (spaces, stickers, etc. etc. etc.).

Yeah, emacs is a fine operating system in need of a good editor. ;)

It would be awesome if someone wrote an editor that runs inside Emacs. Oh! It kind of exists: M-x shell and start vi in there. :)
