The thing that's really bad is that it's proprietary.

Well, none of it matters since Discord is hostile software. No language will solve their privacy-trampling deeds.

FUD "against" proprietary software is pretty much the "reverse racism" of technology.
Again, there is no proof OpenWhisper wasn't tampered with. It'd take WhatsApp becoming Free Software and having independent audits to be reliable as a communications platform. Suspiscion is but a matter of survival, and chances will continue to be usually against the most vulnerable party: the users.

Another day, another leak of proprietary software collecting and selling sensitive user data.
Hopefully Discord's day is coming soon.

Funny. Discord is the one line I will refuse to cross on yielding my data and metadata. They _are_ downright dangerous. Their CEO's previous project, OpenFeint, already had a privacy scandal lawsuit.

...Are people going to believe this?

Grabbing all that user data and metadata has its share of computing cost. But hey, the higher-ups will profit from it so it's ok.

Don't thank people actively working on proprietary software bent on hindering people's rights to privacy and freedom.

They won't. People are not really giving a crap for their (and their peers') safety. Just look at how popular Discord is alongside FB.

Since WhatsApp is proprietary on both client and server side, it can't be proven that OpenWhisper wasn't tampered with. And chances are always against users when we speak of proprietary.
It's disgraceful that Signal hailed WhatsApp's announcement to use it almost like a second coming of a religious figure.

So... A website clearly intended to be a parody due to its name, but still taken seriously by people that didn't get it?

Allegedly*.
Since Whatsapp is proprietary, it can't be proven that OpenWhisper wasn't tampered with on the server. And chances are always against the link that needs the most protection, the user.
