If not discord is still better. Maybe one day they’il do shit, at this time this is not the case

This is why I asked “why don’t just use Reddit” in the first place.

While Reddit worked seamlessly for more than 15 years, it turned to shit within 1 year. The worst part is that we cannot easily switch to a different platform because Reddit is mainstream, and the alternatives are not appealing enough because there are not enough people. Isn’t it possible that we will experience the same thing with Discord?

Also, I really respect Lemmy.world’s decision. It’s not my job to interfere in internal affairs because I’m not a user or admin here. I just wanted to express my opinion, after all, that’s what the comment field is for, right? But not again, I will not comment on instance meta communities, as it supposed to be :)

Discord already “shares” data with third parties (has been doing it for years), has full control over your client, and doesn’t need to “corrupt” anything to already have access to read, erase, and modify everything.

Matrix servers can’t access encrypted content, no matter how “corrupted” they are. Data loss is on the user, you can keep a backup of anything… or not, your choice. System failure and lack of maintenance, are mitigated by identity servers being separate from the chat relay servers.

If you want to trade privacy, message integrity, and user non-supplantation, for some more system stability, then sure, go ahead and use Discord, WhatsApp, Messenger, or whatever (…actually, WhatsApp is slightly more secure than Discord).
