We’re rolling out end-to-end encryption for voice and video calls! We’d like to share why we’re bringing E2EE A/V to Discord, share our design and implementation goals, and provide a high-level technical overview of how it works.

    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.

    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.

      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.

        Like they can’t show half an app and data-rape me with the other half.

        While it keeps banning us from proving its claims, i’ll never let them 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.

                Their are bound by software licenses of software on their devices. I am bound by software on my devices. Their software ain’t my problem.

            It’s anti-libre software. We do not control it.

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

            What software license do you think Discord is distributed under? Never heard of copyright law?

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

                  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.

    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.
