I will add “a fucking chatroom where they ban you for political reasons and there’s at least 3 accounts testing the water for how much nazism they can get away with and if you report them to the mods/admins they say they don’t see it and then ban you for wasting their time.”
A Hindutva fascist gave me death threats on Discord. I reported it to admins and they claimed they saw nothing. I understood most of Discord that tolerates rightwingers are shithole places, and it is best to stick to my own friend circles and more professional and/or leftist places.
I guess it depends on how feasible it is to create a crawler and search engine. If you had bots crawl discord servers, continuously index everything, and then create a search engine for it, you’d probably be breaking their TOS and they’d C&D you. But I don’t think there’d be anything preventing someone from doing that on matrix. Matrix is just as decentralized as the web.

That isn’t solved by Matrix though.
