This does seem a nice feature and definitely a step in the right direction but why use e2ee for video and audio but not chat? That's afterall where most of Discords activity is happening
- Gigachad 2y agoBecause E2EE causes an absolute ton of friction to the chat experience. Stuff that you expect to just work like chat history and searching no longer works.
- Akashic101 2y agoIsn't WhatsApp e2ee as well? You can search that one just fine
- Ukv 2y agoHaven't used WhatsApp but presumably it indexes client-side. On Discord people want to search large servers including messages since before they joined, so this approach wouldn't really work. That said, it could potentially work for DMs.
