    I’m not saying it’s a perfect service, I’d rather all private messages be E2E encrypted, but there’s no evidence Discord themselves have ever sold any data, so I don’t understand why we are making crazy claims when them collecting data is a privacy issue enough on it’s own.

    Calls recently got encryption, so while Discord is as popular as it is, we can only hope they keep expanding encryption into other areas.

      As much as I would love it I don’t think we are gonna see more encryption in the discord ecosystem. I am convinced that discord was not recording calls prior to introducing e2ee since they were peer to peer so they are not giving up any data in adding it

        It would be absurd to record calls, the expense of it isnt worth it.

        I doubt it too, but it’s okay, I mostly use it for calls anyway. The messages are just organising times.

      Even if that were true, thats not how things work in the real world. If you cant mathematically prove that you dont have access to the data, then you arent trustworthy.

      Calls recently got encryption

      Says who? Discord themselves? Did the publish the code?

        Can you provide a source then if it isn’t true? I am genuinely curious.

        And yes, they did publish the code for their e2ee protocol.

        The whole internet is the same, unless you are running all your own built software that you can vet, you are just putting faith in what a company/individual is telling you. If you want to use the internet, there’s always the inherent risk your data is being collected and sold without you knowing.
