I'm surprised that the service works at all in Russia. Isn't there some sort of sanction that disallows that? I think it's time for someone to look into that.
The Russia government is probably happy to have people chatting in an unencrypted service
messages between client and server are still encrypted tho so does it really matter
No, because the MITM attack is the relevant government walking up to discord with a paper saying "I do what I want"
Man in the Middle = Government subpoena
they are not even "in the middle" but rather "at the very end", since they're just getting the data directly from the service provider instead
No, they are very much in the middle. The attack occurs in the middle between sender and receiver. It doesn't matter when the attack occurs, that is the position in the message chain that the government targets.
