Same thing happened in 2021-ish when WhatsApp changed their policy that all your information would be shared with Facebook. Outrage pushed it back six months, and then they did it anyway.
I cancelled my nitro when it was announced they were doing this shady crap and it’s staying cancelled until there is credible assurances they won’t be handing over personal data to the like so palantir and other related goons.
Short of regular 3rd party audits, there’s nothing they can do that would assure they’re handling your data with privacy and care. And even that’s a stretch.
I’d recommend creating a private room and inviting people to it instead. You can optionally enable encryption as well, but keep in mind it has perfect forward secrecy, so people won’t be able to view messages from before they joined.
Was trying to get voice group chats. I’m getting my ass kicked and my set up hasn’t worked yet and keeps getting bigger with parts I’m not sure I need or work.
They’re delaying it by six months. They’re banking on this blowing over by then. Fuck discord.

Let’s hope this gives competitors more time to get things setup well.

Just like WhatsApp did when they introduced the TOS change for WhatsApp for Business
Nice, I been struggling getting group chats working in Matrix. I don’t have to rush now.

Don’t enable encryption in group chats unless you want to know what meme unable to decrypt message is about
