What would you suggest instead and why would it have changed the outcome?

Literally a lemmy instance is more secure, but also matrix, signal, fucking whatsapp might even work because Facebook has to keep up an image that they have a secure private product even when they don't. Discord is famous for leaks.

Do you think rockstar hacked discord then?

[–] kurwa@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

It was probably another employee that ratted them out

Would they have to? They could just ask nicely.

Well the point is it doesn't matter what platform was used unless you think discord was compromised to get the list of members.

From the company's perspective it would be the easiest way, though I doubt they limited themselves to one way. $100 at the weakest link would be faster but more expensive
