    Not everyone has a large data plan. I am very aware of how much messaging taxes my data plan: the entirety of my data is already used by it.

        I’m really not. 75% of my data this month has been used by Signal and Discord.

          Very unsurprising that Discord consumes a bunch of data but that’s not really a “messaging app”.

          If Signal is consuming too much data, it’s because you’re in too many group chats with photos and videos. You can change the settings so media will only download over Wi-Fi.

            Many people do use Discord as a messaging app. I am really only using it for private messages when I am on data.

            I only have two Signal contacts, and no group chats. Video is set to download only on WiFi, but I do need to be able to see images.

              If you’re using Discord for private messages, you are making another mistake.

                You say that as if I don’t already know it. But what am I supposed to do, abandon every friend who prefers it?

                  I don’t know what you know. You’re the one who said you were using it for “private” messaging. Just letting you know.

                    nobody thinks discord is e2ee. “private messages” usually means the same thing as “direct messages” – messages between a defined set of people as opposed to an open group. You know and understand this term, you’re just being a dick because you think that’s an effective way to convince people to stop using proprietary software without basic features like e2ee. You’re wrong.
