https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/7487 Here's an issue that tracks the missing features.

However, the biggest difference is simply the fact that Discord and Element work fundamentally very differently. Element is (still) centered around making single rooms where people can choose to join. Discord on the other hand operates from a """"server""""" perspective where everyone joins every room by default unless access is restricted. It's the complete opposite.

It's like people really haven't tried Discord, Element or neither and try to make you push a cube object through a circular hole claiming, "yes it fits just do it". As it stands, Element is not the answer to Discord specifically and claiming otherwise is only gonna end up with disappointed new users.
