Why does this community, which is privacy oriented, use Discord rather than Matrix?
Why does this community, which is privacy oriented, use Discord rather than Matrix?
On the side bar it lists the following:
- [Matrix/Element]Dead
- Discord
"Discord" is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as "Dead", as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?
You're viewing a single thread.
Another person who thinks Discord is the equivalent of PRISM for China because Tencent helped with funding them? You're welcome to go work for them. They mostly live in Sanfranciso and got a whoping ~5% of their startup money from Tencent.
As a light reminder, Discord has been blocked in China since... 2018?

Nowhere in the post does OP claim that Discord's privacy issues are China related...
Right, he's just super concerned about privacy while speaking in hushed tones without naming anything because... Of privacy gnomes.
None of the other people talking about China owning Discord are here either lol.
Light remind me why china banned it?
China bad USA good because USA got all those data protection and privacy laws right??
Exactly lol. It's such a silly sentiment.
