Matrix is my personal vote as well. Encryption by default is already much better, though we would need a lot of community work for parity with Discord (though I’d argue most of the fluff on discord isn’t exactly necessary).
I think Discord bridging requires encryption to be off, unfortunately, and I personally see bridging as the only way for Matrix to overcome the network effects of Discord.
