Cinny exists as a discord-like client, thing is, Matrix is mostly the text chat part, it doesn't implement voice chats or anything. Also, the space/room system works differently to discord server/channel
I've never used it but Matrix does seem to support conference calls, if not natively then via Jitsi. I'm sure a good app can paper over the differences to get a voice-chanel out of it if this is what people are after, though I've never really used this much on Discord.
The same can be said of space-room vs server-channel. Of course a space has different semantics, the space doesn't own the rooms, etc. But they can be made to be nearly the same for an end user. In general organization of resources is much looser and less opinionated on Matrix. But an opinionated app can also paper over this to force a stricter hierarchy, while offering advanced users the ability to make their own spaces, etc.
Wikipedia tries to act as a source for information all around the globe, they never block, they only get blocked, blocking the UK would go against their goals
The UK is in Europe, it didn't suddenly break off and float away, it's just not part of the EU, there's a bunch of European countries that aren't in the EU
You've never truly lived until you've had to recover an accidentally-wiped LUKS header to find that one semester-long final project buried in the depths of your computer's filesystem that's due tomorrow, where of course you never bothered to back it up anywhere :)
Perhaps these purported "itoddler" peers of ours were on to something, after all...
It's not like someone had a bad day and the other side isn't over it. The schism of 1054 was centuries in the making, and even at the time it was largely not in any way impacting lives of average Christians. In the centuries that followed, there were brief periods of reconciliation and further rises in tension.
The sacking of Constantinople in 1204 and its later fall a few decades later made reconciliation far harder, and the ultimate shift of power to Moscow made it practically impossible. The final separation of the churches was formalized in the 1700s.
In all the intervening years, the Roman Catholic Church has doubled down on Papal supremacy and infallibility, something that is anathema to Orthodoxy. Beyond that, centuries of diverging traditions have further entrenched theological differences.
There really isn't any separating the ecclesiastical and theological differences at this point. Even the Protestants, who at first largely opposed the Pope rather than the Roman Catholic Church itself, sought to unify with the Orthodox Church in Moscow and found it to be too different to their liking.
