      Tricks you into believing discord is composed of “servers” when it is in fact all centralized under discord’s direct control. Tricks you into believing private messages are private when they are in fact not encrypted at all. Discord’s business itself is shady

        They’re called direct messages, not private messages. They’re not tricking anyone into thinking anything lmao

          No, but the entire point of renaming Private Messages to Direct Messages was exclusively so people would have the mindset you do.

            Umm… People have been using the phrase “Direct message (DM) me” since forever in the game and online comms world. Private message wasn’t a concept until after DMs were later encrypted. And we always knew, that if we didn’t control the servers, even encrypted, those messages were subject the server operators.

            Your logic is giving me the impression that you’re younger and didn’t go through these experiences.
