use the service, and tell them to use it. just like how they made you use discord. and you can whine every time they refuse.
they could ship malicious js to their frontend that would give them access to the unencrypted session. you are going on faith every time you load the interface.
I don’t trust them because they don’t use established security practices and their interfaces abstract away the internals and they have complied with law enforcement and admitted they could compromise contents(not just metadata) and they don’t accept anonymous payment.
