Privacy Debate

I have an early start at work tomorrow so I have to keep my response short for now.
It's possible discord is recording all voice data of all users, but I'd say it's unlikely they store that data long term even if it was recorded. My worries about voice information being divulged on discord is minimal.
I also maintain that while the argument to use encryption even if you haven't in the past is valid, it seems moot to me since we actually share more information on this forum than we do on the voice calls. That is, this encryption activity only covers a minor sliver of our regular communication and practically the least personal part at that.
Pointedly, I communicate more often with other people on discord than I do the forum. And from what you've described, while Riot may some day have these convenience features it doesn't have them yet. If it currently had easy use applications of the features I extol in discord I could concede it's value, though the population of users is still big.
