  Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Discord isn’t E2EE either. Having data under your control even if not encrypted os a big win.

      I’m in a Discord server with 2000 members. You really want to encrypt and decrypt all incoming and outgoing messages 2000 times? There’s a reason why most E2EE messaging apps don’t really do that for group chats.

        Depends on the usecase. If you don’t need chat history for new-joiners, you can work with a single key per group, rotating it whenever someone joins or leaves. Since the server broadcasts a „so-and-so has left/joined“ it might as well include the new key. That key is then used by everyone in the group, so you can still broadcast all messages and don’t have to encrypt them individually.

    Calls are end-to-end encrypted.

  Also completely new with no other contributors. Stay the fuck away from this until its been in development for a while and someone reviewed the code.

  I believe you are correct, but this is still very early into development. Hopefully this gets added at some point
