Meet DAVE: Discord’s New End-to-End Encryption for Audio & Video
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.

I mean technically the client is verifiable if you use discord in a browser tab... and verify it every time you load the web page... 🙃
every time you load the web page...
You said it better than me. 🤣🤣
you aren't. to me this is just PR
They just mean you now really have to pay to get private data. 🤣
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, like AGPL. Discord is malware, anti-libre.
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.
bro, just use firefox or Librewolf or something.
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.
That and it has full functionality in the browser. No bullshit "download the app".
But not for text?
nah, selling messages is way easier
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.
+1 for vesktop works great for me
No. 😡
Huh
No I'm not.
How will they comply with the US government?
They can deliver the data that they do have, which will be encrypted. Though I doubt they were ever recording calls anyway.
How would the US government be able to see the messages? They need to monitor for young people leaking data from the Pentagon. /s
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.
screams in Matrix
but why?
End to end directly to ccp
