I mean you are right to eschew discord but this isn’t really particular to discord. Scraping messages for something like this can be done on any public chat room regardless of which boxes you may have that it ticks; it it’s floss, decentralized, nationalized, communist, on the blockchain, indie, community run, simple protocols, whatever, in the end if anyone can read it then someone can scrape it.

The idea that people might generally want to live in the homes they bought long term is not considered. The idea that those who move or downsize are often doing so reluctantly under pressure from their mortgage is not considered.

True but I also think there are good use cases for such locks and would probably buy one if there were an open source lock available, or even one with easily replaceable firmware that was affordable.

Important thing to remember is that all locks are at best an inconvenience for any dedicated intruder and also to yourself if it fails.
