Discord from a company focused on "security"? Comical
The developers even care about security anymore? Discord has known security problems.
The privacy rights are not clear. Discord has much broader disclosure policy than Slack does. Quote their privacy policy "Developers: Developers using our SDK or API will have access to their end users’ information, including message content, message metadata, and voice metadata." Anyone using SDK or API could be Anyone
From memory, all Jason Citron's prior companies have gone bankrupt or sold. Discord not have a financially viable business plan. If program is free, you are product.
In browser discord uses "Bugsnag". Bug snag is to help Discord debug their application. If JS error happens in your client/browser a stacktrace of your browser sent to Discord. We all be cryptousers. You want stack trace containing your crypto exchange account send to Discord?
Discord use "Mixpanel". Mixpanel is an automatic analytics service Mixpanel, Inc. Offering US more targeted advertising jus like Google Analytics.
Mixpanel, Inc. Has a worse privacy policy. So if Discord doesn't collect data, Mixpanel collect more for their partners.
They openly share infos with Twitter and Facebook. So much for anonymity. Discord track your email address (real or alt) and give to Facebook. Sia != anonymous storage.
Discord not honor "Do Not Track" signals.
Discord still show admin IP address as "moderation tool"? This eliminates "throwaway" or anonymous account.
Their desktop windows client, Discord broadcasts unencrypted traffic. Using packet sniffers, you can reads a clients IP address, MAC address, OS version and client version. In open broadcast.
Sia <3. Discord bad. Sia secure. Discord != Sia.
