They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

There's a reason a lot of privacy focused people don't use discord you know...

Yeah because they're typically hyper-paranoid about shit like if Discord knows if your keyboard is plugged in or not. I just don't get why the fuck people on the Discord community are allergic to supporting Discord. Everyone just wants free shit and it's getting old.

People like you would have never allowed public libraries to exist. Good thing your ancestors didn't stop it from happening.

I hope someday soon you escape from that tiny little box you think in.

Hey dipshit, libraries are funded by taxes, Discord isn't. Find a bridge.

It collects information about almost everything you do in the app, and since there's no e2ee, that includes seeing every single message you send, which is great for moderation, not so great for privacy, especially in case of a breach.

There are plenty of people who support discord, I've been a nitro user for years, I just don't think the service as a whole should become shittier just because not every single person pays for it. There are also concerns about its desire to go public, since there's almost always more enshittification leading up to a company becoming public, as well as after.
