People are trusting Discord way way way too much
Yeah if they get a warrant they're 100% just handing over all the data
Maybe this will finally make people realise that using an unencrypted corpo-controlled messenger for all of their communications is a bad idea
Nah they'll just jump ship to the next one
And there is really no reason to trust it whatsoever. It might feel secluded but in the end of the day, even your „private“ chats are essentially an open forum thread in the technical and legal sense because Discord is basically that: A huge, public forum where everything you say is a public statement. There is no privacy on Discord because that‘s simply not what it‘s for.
I tend to use these platforms without feeling I’m “committed”. I’ve abandoned things like Reddit before, and can likely do so again.
But I can see with the organization levels of channels that others are not thinking the same way.
