    False, this is a lie.

    Discord is anti-libre software. We do not control it.

    It bans us from proving its claims. It bans us from fixing its lies.

    It fails to include a libre software license text file, like AGPL. Discord is malware, anti-libre.

      Interesting. I was able to access the linked whitepaper and repositories without trouble and the 3rd party stuff too. Do you have local config preventing you from downloading the source code to review?

      While I can respect your distaste for non-libre software, you’ll need to back up the malware claim. There are real security concerns out there in common non-libre; labeling things that are not libre as malware solely because they are not libre muddies the waters and makes your message much less palatable.

        Where’s the rest of Discord’s source code?

        While it bans us from proving its claims and more, i’ll never let it infect my devices.

          The claim is that audio and video are E2EE. I’m not sure how you’re unable to disprove that using the linked code, audit report, and COTS debugging tools. Can you expand on that? I see a lot of FUD without anything more than “they’re not libre” which, again, doesn’t do a great job of selling your point.

            Just reverse engineer me bro

            And every update, every other app, all their updates too, across every device… 🚩

            Should we just waste our whole lives nothing but knee deep in disassembled binaries?

            How stupid and gullable does openly hostile Discord think we are?

            Couldn’t be me still coping and shilling trash like this.

              In another post you’re actively looking at purchasing GPS systems. The satellites you’re sending info to are not available to dissect and I highly doubt the firmware of the devices you’re looking at is publicly available much less libre. Your trolling is not internally consistent so it’s clear you don’t have any clue what you’re on about. Good luck with that.

                This conflates software with service.

                Signal’s offical servers, when we don’t own them, and we don’t run them, we can’t see inside them too.

                Signal is an end-to-end encrypted libre app, so we don’t need to.

                here’s half the source missing

                just reverse me bro

                that’s not your server

                Always the same talking points. Some people never learn.

                I don’t think you need to send info for a GPS client to work. You are just a receiver, no data sent.

            It bans us from modifying its source code, sharing its exact and modified copies, using it for any purpose, etc.

            We do not control it, anti-libre software.

            Which software license do you think Discord is distributed under?

                  Responding broadly to the thread of folks talking about userScripts & add-ons. This effort would be better put to getting folks to a different protocol where client modification & alternate clients are the norm.

              I’ve been using a modified client for about 2 and a half years now without being banned.

                Where’s our legal right to modify and share its source code forever? We don’t control it.

    If you believe anything you write or say on discord is private. Or would ever even be encrypted, I want whatever you’re smoking please.

      Yeah, Discord is not a privacy preserving service in the slightest. Honestly I’m only using it because of the network effect at this point.

    Hey Discord, give us the ability to stream audio when sharing our screen on Linux ffs.

      Vencord/Vesktop supports audio streaming on Linux and is just a generally better experience compared against the Discord official app. Free and open source.

    It’s interesting that the threat model also includes participants. They take into account that when a user leaves, it should be impossible for them to continue listening.
