Something important that didn't get mentioned, neither in the post nor in the comments, is whether this is safe in the face of compression oracle attacks[1] like BREACH[2]. Given how much effort it seems Discord put into the compression rollout, I would be inclined to believe that they surely must have considered this, and I wish that they had written something more specific.
