I made a spreadsheet that ranks messengers for privacy (privacyspreadsheet.com)

I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

I'll ask here since it's such a good thread: best FLOSS privacy respecting replacement for discord?

There's Revolt (FOSS, functionally the same as Discord but it's centralised) and Matrix (FOSS and decentralised but it's somewhat functionally different than discord). Both have their pros and cons. You can look into them.
