Hi all,

I haven't used Discord in a while, but it became so that now I have to use it for communication with certain people getting support for some services that I use. What I'm doing currently is:

  • using a separate randomised e-mail address only for the Discord account
  • using a randomly generated username
  • no profile picture
  • tweaking the settings as best I can for privacy

Other than these points, I'm also being wary of talking about anything personal on Discord. Would you add anything so I can be even safer when using Discord?

Worse, anti-libre software, Discord, bans us from proving it's claims, if it ever claims privacy, security, anything.
