>>4684152It is open source which means that they wouldn't have to have as many staff I don't think (Unlike discord) I don't know heaps and heaps about it, just some basic stuff. If you want to know more /g/ has threads about this software like every hour or so, I do recommend it, its pretty smooth and a discord clone that doesn't thieve your fucking data (I'm real private). The only thing that kinda bugs me, is the display is white and not discord black/dark color, so literally nothing.
https://about.riot.im/about-us/This is from their about us:
>INFORMATION OWNERSHIP IS A RIGHT.We stand behind the idea that all of us should have the right to control our online data and that sharing this data is a choice. We will not contribute to the ever growing belief that simply because something is free that by default you should give up your right to privacy.
As popular social networks have become an entry point for our daily lives and activities, their tendency to strip us of these privacies without due notice has created a sort of privacy-fatigue. Thanks to its decentralized architecture inherited from Matrix, and its support for end-to-end encryption Riot strives to remove this concern and make privacy second-nature.
