I tried using both, in an effort to migrate from Discord. However, after a period of trying to figure out a good workflow and set-up in Matrix—finding an “instance” to set-up an accounts, configuring a private room for me and my SO to have a private chat in, and all that—we just gave up when the instance we had accounts in just folded.
I would have wanted to move to Matrix but I’m just too smooth-brained for it, and so in Discord I stay (keeping in mind that it’s neither private nor safe to be there).

The flagship instance is pretty solid. Right now matrix instances seem to consume a lot of resources which makes it expensive to run for admins.
You’ve convinced me to give Matrix another try. I’ve made an account on the flagship instance and perhaps I’ll explore around for a while.
