On the side bar it lists the following:

  • [Matrix/Element]Dead
  • Discord

β€œDiscord” 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 β€œDead”, 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?

They said a β€œbig” compromise? Why did you skip over their qualifier? Are all compromises equal?

Where did they say that?

I dunno. The comment doesn’t have the word in it now; that’s why #1981 is important. But, maybe they didn’t and I imagined it.

It remains true that not all compromises are equal, and the privacy compromises we make for Discord are relatively large compared to the ones for Matrix.

There is an β€œedited” indicator for posts, and the post you’re referring to doesn’t have it.

Sure, your point is true, but you were (incorrectly) accusing the other commenter of skipping a qualifier that would make your point relevant.
