I'm curious as to how many here choose to use Discord over Matrix and pay them for the Nitro subscription.

I do. Full subscription. Originally I had Basic, but with banners and stuff being added I thought "ah fuck why not?" I spend a lot of time on the platform as staff for a large server, and frequent 2 or 3 others so I'm much more visible as a flagship and interacting with users than most normal users. I dont feel like the average user needs full nitro, but I can break down how I use/see the various features.
spoiler
I dropped my 2 boosts on some friends servers, our server is partnered and doesn't need them, and I feel like boosts are....a silly money extraction tbh.
I use animated emotes frequently and emotes from other servers (and animated emotes from other servers) so that feature is worth it.
Increased file size is a godsend. I know this is artificially restricted and discord could be less stingy for free people, but for paid getting bigger uploads has helped tremendously when I have to use modmail on various servers. Send image proof? Easy. Video evidence? Done and done with that increased limit.
Banner? I like it tbh. Not necessary but I like it. In tandem with this is setting my own colors for profile.
I have never once used Remix.
Super Emojis has got to be the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard of. You get like 5 per week, and is the first feature I go out of my way to use so I can justify its existence. Dumb as hell.
Streaming is nice. I dont usually use it but it is nice to be able to stream in our channels at max. I feel like this one is artificially gimped by Discord to get you to pay, so YMMV. I don't use this feature often.
