Discord have belatedly confirmed that they're working with Persona, an identity detection firm backed by a fund directed by Palantir chairman Peter Thiel.

    I’ve made Stoat and Matrix accounts.

    Matrix because it seems like the most logical choice - largest platform that’s federated/decentralised and has end-to-end encryption.

    Stoat because realistically being more similar to Discord I know more users are going to go there. So I thought I’d hedge my bets. Just hope it also gets end-to-end encryption, the lack of that on Discord was always one of my gripes with the platform.

      Matrix because it seems like the most logical choice - largest platform that’s federated/decentralised and has end-to-end encryption.

      Personally I’ve had consistent problems with messages not un-encrypting in Matrix, requiring frequent re-sending of messages. I’m also not a fan of how much Metadata is shared across the Matrix network even with encryption, nor am I fan of the history of the group (Amdocs) who developed and funded it, or the willingness of the Matrix/Element team to sell their services to law enforcement (They had purchased a booth at a police convention).

      Movim has all of the same features as Matrix without those downsides, if you’d like to give that a try instead.
