My impression is that it's inspired by Discord, so let's say a chat with forum features, or a forum with an instantaneous feeling

I went and looked it up yesterday. The protocol itself seems very fascinating, and the fact that there is a handful of governments that have adopted the Matrix protocol seems huge. I've always thought it was a chat platform and that's not really my bag, so I never investigated. Hell, I don't even FaceTime anyone except my lady friend, but for those who do use that channel of communications, it seems like it would be the ticket.
