I don't feel convinced of this takeaway, at least in the context of being applied across the board.
I help administer a semi-large, public studygroup community that sees its share of trolls and the like joining the channels and causing disruptions (up to and including exposing themselves and masturbating/helicoptering) for shock value, etc.
If anything, I find Discord's moderation tools for server administrators painfully lacking. Discord is not Signal.
I would have liked to see this in some form closer to an assignable privilege to send out/upload E2EE data granularly grantable to server regulars, while new people start out without the privilege.
This press release going into cool technical details in order to tout E2EE and namedropping one of the most reputable consultants in the biz feels a little tonedeaf.
more sensibly, and of which i would be really receptive to (as a server/guild administrator), granular setting on a per-channel basis.
of course, this sentiment largely takes for granted that there is any open-facing mission on Discord's part to facilitate community moderation; i definitely tend to lean privacy-first in general.
