Why does this community, which is privacy oriented, use Discord rather than Matrix? - eviltoast

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?

    Your only source is to counter a claim I didn’t make. I’m not going to do your homework. If you’re worried about privacy, don’t use Discord. That’s the short version.

      Citing sources is the task of the one putting the argument on the table in the first place

      -My kitchen is made out of uranium
      -That’s not true
      -Do you have a source to back this up?
      Doesnt work

      A majority stake of Discord is owned by Tencent

      You said this. My source proves this wrong.

      You are spreading misinformation. I am not going to do your homework to prove your claims.
