I suppose they have arguments about the protocol being more energy efficient. They will need to convince the dev of Fluffy Chat to port the protocol for me to switch over.

    I find that it looks more like Discord, but sure, Element also copied a lot of stuff from Discord.

      I honestly feel like if you swapped the Gajim and the Element screenshot I wouldn’t even notice. Discord’s layout is a bit different even if not by enough that some people wouldn’t realize it

        Switch Gajim to dark mode and close that thread view in Discord and it looks almost the same.

        But yes there is a lot of UI copying, but Discord is clearly the main inspiration for both.
