On the side bar it lists the following:

  • [Matrix/Element]Dead
  • Discord

“Discord” is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as “Dead”, as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?

    Because conversations about increasing privacy doesn’t need to be private. It’s usually about learning about other tools and that they exist.

      This is true; if it weren’t true, nobody would be on this publicly accessible website making publicly accessible comments

      This only makes sense if discord is a common entry point into the community which seems unlikely to me

        It probably isn’t, but it’s probably a good place to get a quick answer about something.
