Is it, though? It's intended to be a public forum either way. As the MPAA and RIAA should have learned, you can't really keep a public secret.
Using Discord just makes that transparent. You're absolutely being spied on, instead of jumping through a bunch of hoops to give yourselves false confidence that you're not being spied on.
Sure. It's an easy gotcha. But if you consider it a bit more it makes sense.
atleast use guilded
A chat program owned by Roblox Corporation is not my idea of trustworthy.
i personally trust Roblox
The well known child exploiting corporation?
Why?
Count me out. Let me know when you revive the chat room on Matrix.
Could somebody just create a Matrix group/channel/room/space already?
There are plenty already, why not a joint?
More solidarity/less division would be nice but it doesn't mean that some individuals wouldn't need to prove themselves to the tasks.
Security experts are not on discord. Sounds like a honeypot.
privacy communities are a joke. dont trust any of them

Matrix is a great discord-like experience. From my experience it's got different channels, direct messing and a focus it seems on privacy which is nice. Compared to discord that doesn't even support end to end encryption
There's a privacy-friendly Discord out there called Revolt. Honestly, though, it doesn't bug me if the chat is on Discord. I will not use it, even if it is on Matrix or Revolt.

It's a low-friction way to chat with other privacy-focused people. The alternative is something like Matrix which less people are going to use. That's the push and pull of trying to be 100% private vs. spreading privacy knowledge to more people.
Yeah… matrix is great, it’s just not a a lot of people use it. Anytime I log in most of the rooms are dead.
Matrix gets a big thumbs up from me. We're using it for the Kbin dev chats and it's super handy, reminds me of discord which is a nice plus since that's a UI most people can use intuitively

Revolt is supposed to be a privacy-focused alternative to Discord. Haven't used it myself. Is it promising? Will it ever gain traction?
It's promising but it's very small. I've not really found a "home" on that place.
