Add support for end-to-end encryption

Adding support for end-to-end encryption is a massively asked for feature and the lack of it makes Discord feel like a lesser platform compared to alternatives which have it. Even if it was Nitro only and worked only on group-dms, it could potentially be a game-changer and bring more open-source communities into Discord instead of them having to find alternatives due to privacy concerns.

  Keys could be stored in the cloud, encrypted by your password. New key generation could be as simple as changing your password and using the old key to sign the new one. A compromised/recovered account would be flagged with an unsigned keychange, old messages would be irrecoverable and all friends of the account would warned.

  This is a feature that will make or break it for me in the near future.

  E2EE is very hard to be implemented on Discord, because Discord is based on the Cloud, which means all of its content are stored on cloud servers on the internet not on local devices such platforms can't implement E2EE, E2EE is implemented on Whatsapp and Signal, because these later services store their content on the local devices on the phones of users, cloud  enables very fast convenient synchronization that isn't possible with Whatsapp nor Signal, you can use Discord on your desktop without the need for phone connection, and you also retrieve your messages instantly when you sign into your Discord account on new device, Discord must work on to encrypt the connections between their clients and servers using other encryption protocols.

  Joseph Saber That's false, having E2EE with content hosted on the cloud is totaly feasable, Proton Mail for example does it.
  If you want a messaging app that is E2EE with messages stored in the cloud, there's also the matrix protocol that does it.
  Nothing new to invent.

  Yes, very false.
  Discord could send you the encrypted message, you would decrypt it. That's how it works.
