discord is my compromise platform, because the only other platform all my friends could agree on was whatsapp, and fuck meta

    They agree on WhatsApp? All my friends want to stick to the horrible Facebook Messenger for some reason.

    We're a weird mix of nerds in our mid to late 30s, some care enough about privacy to not have Facebook, but had been on whatsapp since pre meta.

    Some refuse to install new apps, because "ugh not another one"

    Definitely a compromise

    They want to appear to care about privacy, you mean.

    Because all of those apps own (literally or is their property) every image text and other data you give it

    it was a difficult choice - I pushed for them all to join signal, but there were some holdouts.

    Whatsapp was e2ee, which discord is not. Discord can run in a webbrowser or a sandboxed flatpak on my desktop. All messengers suck, what ya gonna do?
