[liberationtech] Time to Switch to Discord & Mozilla Firefox?

[Nathan Andrew Fain]

Cryptpad is not a Discord replacement (no chat rooms). It works well for
collaborative rich document editing with e2e encryption and is
self-hosted. Have been using it for a while now with no issues. Very
promising. It is slow to load which seems to turn some people off. It is
also nodejs based and worthy of isolation from other services.
