Literally just discord with a commitment to privacy - which isn't worth very much until they implement encryption.

Lots of branding, with no clear features to set it apart.

Perhaps one of the alpha users can convince me otherwise. Why does this need to be it's own product instead of just contributing to Matrix? Matrix bridges to everything already and has essentially the same mandate (with the bonus of federation.)

This seems to be more focused on voice-chat, which Matrix only has by embedding a mumble-web widget (or Jitsi-meet).

what's wrong with the Mumble web widget or Jitsi Meet?

Nothing wrong, but they are not Matrix and Matrix does not implement voice chat itself.
