You mean the same discord that doesn't have end-2-end encryption for text? The only good news is that the NSA has a backup of all your chats.

The same discord that has said openly for years that they're recording everything about its users that they can?
Discord was never secure and a private for profit org was never going to stay good.
Bro's actually a CIA plant that replaced your real friend 2 years ago.
Use something like signal instead.
Signal really doesn’t have all the features Discord has though.
That's why you use Discord for friendly chats, and Signal as a side channel for anything political.
Yeah I use both to be clear. I just don’t see them as alternatives to one another.
Though I do use discord for some political stuff. I like to do legal resistance in public to normalize it and reduce the fear. That’s how they control us.
Signal is for more confidential stuff :)
Skill issue + Matrix exists
Skill issue? Have you used discord?
You might as well say why use Lemmy when Signal exists. It’s just not a replacement.
Haven’t used matrix though. Is it encrypted? Does it have the forum functionality of Discord?

Yes and yes.
Still waiting for Stoat (aka Revolt) to kick in because Matrix is too complex to bring my friends over, and also lacks cool Discord features like bots
Matrix definitely has bots.
Thanks I’ll have to check it out.
It's more-or-less a self-hostable Discord clone (but there are plenty of public instances you can join).
There are also Matrix bridges that let you join chats on other apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc.
Until the government demands that Signal turns over the keys too.
Not really possible, Signal doesn't have the keys to turn over. Governments only option is to ban Signal.
Right, which means you won't be able to get your friends to switch to it.
Did something new happen?
Also just don't use Discord.
other than the hack that leaked user IDs and verification photos? no i dont think so.
'friend' on discord is the first red flag.
