Meet DAVE: Discord’s New End-to-End Encryption for Audio & Video

We’re rolling out end-to-end encryption for voice and video calls! We’d like to share why we’re bringing E2EE A/V to Discord, share our design and implementation goals, and provide a high-level technical overview of how it works.

@evacide With Discord banning third-party clients it's complete snake oil though.

Apart from the fact that you have barely any reason to spy on peoples voice chat when you have plain text messages that are easier to put through data alghorithms, yeah.

At least they claim to have open the source code, so hopefully better software could use it

@untsuki @lanodan @evacide yeah, e2ee on dms is way more important than this. not having that just means they're a big database of people's private chats, which, ew

but as long as they're proprietary software and centralized, the entire system is compromised and can't be trusted anyways, even with e2ee...
