I don’t understand why a privacy respecting app would use discord for their community. I subscribed to their mailing list and look forward to any updates.
I also think that using the phone number to find friends, as done by signal, is really important for mainstream adoption.
I just tried it as I was intrigued, but it didn’t go so well.
The first thing it did was complain about not being able to connect to its notifications server, so I couldn’t enable notifications… even looked into the app permissions and there was nothing preventing it from pushing notifications.
Then I wanted to see which OSS was used and that link didn’t work. (possible license violation?)
After that I wanted to try the mode where you can communicate locally through BLE and all that. Enabling that feature causes the app to just crash when opening it.Looks very promising, but probably and unfortunately will lack mass adoption
