"Oh I need to communicate with someone on Discord quickly, guess I'll launch it. Oh, there's an update available, so Discord *prevents me from opening their appliaction*."
Reason #215 to avoid #discord.
#matrix isn't *great*, but it's a darn sight better than this.
@pganssle I love Matrix but at least Discord does not randomly prevent you from reading others messages because suddenly they're encrypted. This screenshot is from a week ago.
@astrojuanlu I mean, that's from E2E encryption, which I think Discord doesn't support at all? You can turn that off, and it's pretty easy to share keys between devices.
@astrojuanlu Matrix is not great (literally nothing in this or the adjacent "SMS replacement" space is, in my opinion), but E2EE that is both secure and good UX is like... obscenely hard.
@pganssle @astrojuanlu i‘m not saying it‘s not obscenely hard. But it‘s doable. Signal pretty much nailed that part. It‘s still a centralized service though.
