I tested out revolt and element. Out of the two element seems to be the most well rounded. What do you people use to replace discord to protect your privacy?

How do we know that these solutions are more private than Discord?

Even if open source, how do we know the compiled version wasn’t altered?

You can always compile from scratch, compare the checksums or use the version you compiled. In projects this large people usually do this, and there’s a certain level of trust that these checks have been performed.

A lot of compilers have things like timestamps in the finished product that could mess with hashes. I guess hashing the rest of it could work if hashes for non static regions are given.

Sure but how do you know those encrypted requests don’t contain personal or unexpected information?
