Open source your code and then you will have a leg to stand on about trust. Right now it’s just “trust be bro” when you have proven record of beling lying piece of shit.

That wouldnt even help much. The issue is them being in control of the servers and that its not e2ee. Even if the client is open source, they still get all the data and control.

If their claims are true then it would help. They claim that they process everything locally and only sends the check to the server. But again, there is literally no reason to trust any word they say without being able to verify it ourselves. Proprietary systems should never be used for this.
Also their liability avoidance doesn’t inspire confidence. Discord outsources the liability to k-ID and k-ID outsourced the liability to Privately.

Im talking about message content, images, contact networks, behavioural patterns, etc.
All that can be inferred from just the serverside data even if the client sends only whats necessary.

That goes without question, but my comment was directed at ID services, not Discord itself.
