Why does this community, which is privacy oriented, use Discord rather than Matrix?
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?
A majority stake of Discord is owned by Tencent, which is a Chinese data collection company required by law to pass personal user information to the CCP.
Discord runs on an unencrypted network.
I'm just stating some facts. Make your own judgement call.
Tencent itself doesn't get discords data. Tencent is not required by law to pass all user information to CCP.
Discord like any communication systems is required to pass data to all major governments when they are investigating crime. Such as the USA and FBI. Your lemmy instance does the same thing.
Please state facts rather than misinformation. If you are going to pass off these facts provide sources.
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.
