    I just use discord via the browser. Why would I allow it to harvest my data as an app?

        If you use JACK audio, then you can make it Unix-way. Or use hardware PTT.

        EDIT: or just mute/unmute mic system-wide

        They have to do it on fucking purpose right? Only allow keybinds so you have to get the client so they can collect user data

      Because the desktop app works without having your phone around, if I remember correctly. It’s a relatively recent feature.

          The web version isn’t a standalone client like Signal, which registers as an additional device with e2e. WhatsApp web communicates with the WhatsApp app, so it doesn’t work if the phone isn’t connected to the internet (in early versions it had to be the same network, if I remember correctly).

          I believe WA introduced a feature which allowed the desktop app to function standalone like Signal. Signal Desktop adds a second device with it’s own keys, so contacts send automatically messages to two devices. I’m not sure if it works the same for WA, and if they even have the feature. I don’t have a compatible desktop.
