I think this is less an issue with discord and more an issue with desktop computing in general, and why I personally do my personal business on an iPad whenever I can.
Every application that you run can do everything that you can do. You aren't just trusting Discord not to suck up your keys, you are trusting every application on your system, and maybe even the OS itself.
I prioritized moving to iOS the same day I realized that every application would be restricted to a sandbox. It'd be nice if every application on windows had to beg for permission to read outside of its own sandbox as well, but I doubt we will ever get there due to the sheer amount of legacy stuff hanging around.
- ihuman 6y agoCan't Discord do this on iOS too? They're tracking what you do within the app, and there's nothing on iOS that blocks that.
- ViViDboarder 6y agoWithin the app, sure. But they can’t arbitrarily exfiltrate information from other apps or from your file system since each app is sandboxed.
