moving from signal to discord is not going to be exactly helpful for your privacy, discord is completely unencrypted

I am aware of that but when all our friends or communities either use whatsapp or discord then it's just more convenient. Honestly messaging these days is a mess

  • Teams and Slack for work
  • Whatapp and Discord for family, friends and interests/communities
  • Signal for the techsavy friends

I really miss that fleeting moment when all messaging apps were using either open protocols or at least they weren’t hostile against alternative clients. It was really nice to be able to use one client to log in to gtalk, msn etc. at the same time.
