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?

    Neither, it happens because my browser settings make it more difficult for them to fingerprint me which makes it think I’m a bot or something untrustworthy.

      Interesting, my Discord profile is also very hardened, and while it prompts me for confirmation, it’s always doable in a moment
