I think you can actually bridge a Matrix room to Discord, though it
likely requires consent from the server owner, and may or may not
involve running a Discord bridge. I know there are some public bridges,
though I don't know if Discord is among them.

I agree!
A bunch of us are using the #emscripten room on discord together with
the larger WebAssembly community, but like you I'd prefer to see
something more open in use. So if someone wants to set up a room on
matrix or freenode that would be great! There's no reason to have just
one location, and we can document all the options equally.

One option is discord, where the wasm community has been
gathering, and there's already an #emscripten room there that
someone set up,

Thoughts?
I have followed this mailing list, but not the chat--wasn't aware
of it! Regardless, my $0.25 (inflation): I feel switching to a
closed-source (or otherwise centrally controlled option) would be
a step backward from IRC. If the technorati are to be role models
and making any kind of stand for the future, there must be a push
past the captive mentality of "trusting some guy's website".
Decentralized platforms like matrix.org <http://matrix.org> won't
have a chance unless we give them that chance.
Having tried out Discord (for the mentioned WebAssembly group, was
quiet when I was there) and Slack, I strongly oppose usage of
either. For a service this simple, inviting middlemen into the
picture is anything but future-proof.
It's a lot of deja-vu all over again. Recently I'm having to look
into other chat options for my group. We'd rather liked
StackOverflow's chat feature, and had been using it for a decade.
But times change; the SO of today is not the one we knew then.
Recent events there have eroded trust beyond repair:
https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/342039/firing-community-managers-stack-exchange-is-not-interested-in-cooperating
Hence I'd like to see matrix.org <http://matrix.org> ...or if that
seems too avant-garde for some reason, then irc.freenode.net
<http://irc.freenode.net> seems a low-effort change.
