I know about rustdesk, and some other selfhosted solutions, but just wonder, what do you use if not screen sharing in discord.

    There has been a few controversies so here is the TLDR:

    • Rustdesk public relays have been caught using Chinese servers

    • The Rustdesk app is highly privileged for little reason. They abused this privilege to switch Wayland users to X silently

    • very little is known about the Rustdesk “team” if there even is one. There is a single github user called “rustdesk” and the personalities on the Rustdesk website appear to be fake.

    • Rustdesk says they are from Singapore but there are multiple leads that point to them being Chinese

    • They straight up delete any issue or discussion that questions the supposed Rustdesk “team”

    That’s just the summary that I know. You can find more information by looking up Rustdesk controversy or is Rustdesk a scam.

      Thank you very much! Little did I know! I will look for alternatives now… MeshCentral is the next on my list I guess.
