All those Discord communities are gonna have a bad time once their investors start wanting some of that money back.
They already are. Some projects used Discord a file host even if they have a page on GitHub or similar services that allows you to package up releases, and Discord is now making it so you can't just hotlink to them anymore.
Well the CCP are the biggest single investor with tencent owning over 40% of discord, which is why it has zero encryption or security, they are getting their money's worth by now having access to shit loads of data to mine, manipulate and train ais with, and we have done jack shit to prevent it, I think discord is the second largest social media platform now.
Discord doesn't have e2e but they have standard ssl/tls, "zero encryption or security" would be completely unusable.
