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 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.
