we’re painfully aware that none of the Matrix clients available today provide a full drop-in replacement for Discord...

🙁

...yet.

😀

Loving the transparency on this post! It would be lovely if you could specifically fund the work which would allow Matrix to have those more gamer-foused features.

Practically speaking, that means that people and organisations running a Matrix server with open registration must verify the ages of users in countries which require it.

So if I just host my account on a home server on my raspberry pi, then I don't have to age verify? I see. And I can still invite friends and family, I just can't open up registration to the general public? I see.
