Honestly it's just going from one bad app host (discord) to another that could be less bad but still has all your data (revolt). You can host your own revolt server but you won't be able to join any of revolts servers. Matrix is just plain better for privacy and security. I do like to see more alternatives out there tho
You're free and welcome to use encryption very frequently. Matrix also keeps a list of everyone who has read each and every message.
