We can watch the repository on GitHub, the same as in Reddit's case. I'm not sure about your reference of Reddit changing code without the community knowing it. Was it due to some components turning out to be closed-source, or rather a human error with the changes being visible on GitHub but the community not noticing?

that's why i'm writing a distributed version of Discord

I don't want to discourage your work at all, but it is highly undesirable for our people to migrate to a freshly baked software that has no community peer-reviewing it and will inherently have a lot of bugs and vulnerabilities waiting to eventually be discovered and treated. Reinventing the wheel is not necessarily the good strategy.

my "discord replacement" decentralizes at a https-level, there's not enough (new) code involved to have a lot of vulnerabilities, you'll see. it's definitely be superior & less vunerable than v/pizzagatewhatever (which it replaces) from the get-go

But we already have Riot for that purpose. You're comparing to /v/pizzagatewhatever, I'm comparing to Riot. Basically, you're coming up with a third tool as a solution when we already have a tool that works both in itself and as a /v/pizzagatewhatever substitute if we decide to use it as such.

@wecanhelp so the discord is temporary either way, we can move to riot if we get taken down before then, since all info is submitted to voat we won't have lost info

Moving, in itself, comes with a tremendous transaction cost and significant dropout rates. We already have a Riot with about 300 people currently online.

sorry? where are we moving from? the discord is to replace v/pizzagatewhatever, which itself has the exact same issues, but is already less active than the discord.
