I’m aware of what end-to-end encrypted means in a technical sense, but does the lack thereof guarantee the messages are just plaintext readable to whoever’s manning the machine?
My guess is yes but I’ve been known to have wildly incorrect guesses so I want to double-check.
Use Matrix. It has E2E encryption.
I matrix anywhere near discord? Also last time I used element I had so many issues with e2ee
I don’t know why @fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world said “it’s nowhere near discord”. The Element client supports voice and video rooms and certain servers have extensions installed for custom emojis. I don’t know what else Discord does that’s special. “Servers” in Discord are “Spaces” in Matrix. Spaces can have rooms.
The major difference I find are the moderation tools in Matrix. They have to be installed by the server admin and can’t be activated per room by the room admins or mods.
It’s not. It’s more of a what’s app than discord.
Yeah that kinda defeats the purpose of a discord replacement for me. Also matrix seems to be a behemoth that integrates super slowly. Stoat does have e2ee planned, so now would be a great time for everyone with skills to contribute. I personally am trying to hack a different desktop frontend because I’m tired of web apps before the api becomes too complex.
