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?

      Pretty much all companies are data collection companies, or they have data collection services tacked onto their software. However, in this case, Tencent is a company in China, and China is a data collection country.

      Tencent is not required by law to pass all user information to CCP.

      If China wants to see it, then yes they are required by law to pass information to the CCP.

      Your only source is to counter a claim I didn’t make. I’m not going to do your homework. If you’re worried about privacy, don’t use Discord. That’s the short version.
