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?
You must log in or register to comment.
In that situation, I would also:
- Only use it through a browser (with fingerprinting protection), never a Discord app.
- Dedicate a browser installation, or at least a user profile, to Discord.
- Only use it over a VPN connection dedicated to Discord, or Tor if it’s allowed.
- Have an alternative channel (maybe Matrix?) ready and waiting for contacts who might be willing to switch.
