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?

This is total bullshit. You should start at the fact that Discord is owned by a chinese company. Then discuss everything else. To me Discord looks and acts like a spoiled child: too many things going on, too many flashy stuff, too manny obnoxious "features".

Discord Inc is a privately-owned American company. If you're referring to Tencent, they are investors, and not owners. And they're only one of several foreign investors. As for ownership, two dudes share majority ownership of the company.

Then discuss everything else.

Maybe you should do ten seconds of Googling before discussing anything.

@Chozo @Kalcifer @clmbmb In capitalism, investors and owners are one and the same. Investors are owners. Owners are investors.
