Discord is a DM platform first, a public space second. And it’s way better at being the first, than the second.
Providing support on discord is stupid, it’s only semi-public and hides solutions to already solved problems beyond the reach of search engines and real public platforms.
I’m not trying to convince anyone to ditch discord.
You pushed the point that “it doesn’t need to be secure because it’s all public” which is complete bullshit. Not everything on discord is public.
That its secondary ability to function as a public space has over the years become the standard way to provide a point of communication in a manner that tries to fit the round peg into the square hole, is not an excuse for their privacy policy to be as crappy as it is.
All I did was confirm that discord has zero merit in terms of privacy, in reply to a comment that merely suspected it. And yeah, I personally find it less than suitable as a point of communication for software projects.
But the only big problem I had with you was pushing the “if you have nothing to hide” fallacy in any shape or form.
Again. What?

Discord is NOT a public space.
Well yeah. But it sure likes to pretend at being one.
