123·1 year agoIf some fuckstick from Nebraska asked me to snitch on my users for something which isn’t a crime in my state, I would simply tell them to fuck themselves, go ahead, and try to have me extradited. If my instance were bordering on a trillion dollars market cap, I’d hire a fucking lawyer.
On Discord, you cannot host your own server, and you cannot use any third party clients (without the threat of being banned).
You can host your own Matrix server, either on physical hardware, or a generic virtual machine you can rent from any number of ISPs. There are over a dozen compatible third-party clients (though many lack full feature coverage).
In summary, Discord is strictly a service. Matrix is a tool you can apply however you see fit.
