I've evaluated Matrix multiple times, even tried to set up a homeserver once, and I can confidently say it's an unusable mess compared to Discord.
If I wanted to set up a community like on Discord the experience would be worse than Discord 8-7 years ago. Is there a nice, GUI based system for managing permissions, administration and members in a group across 50 channels yet? No? Alright.
Also every time I try to set up Element on another device it takes like 5 attempts to get it to stop spouting errors about E2E stuff, and then still fails to decrypt messages.
it is a bit of a mess admittedly, but it is getting better, and irc is way worse in the user-friendlyness regard
