It's my understanding that this essentially amounts to the legal and collateral doxing of hundreds of thousands of people, if it spans all members of these servers.
Stop using Windows. Stop using Discord.
Yep. On it almost a year now, ever since 10 was EOL'd and I learned Discord was building a profile on every user based on usage.
Linux has been awesome and Discord mostly sucked anyway.
What solution did you end up on post Discord? If you had a group of people you communicated on Discord with, did you have luck migrating them out? I'd like to move, but my use is already really minimal and I feel like getting my friend group out is going to be difficult to non-existent in some cases.
Can't speak for the other person, but I just left. Told my old groups I couldn't stand Discord. Sometimes you don't need an alternative idk I just chat with deferent people on different programs now.
My irl friends think I'm a weirdo but I'm at peace, and they know how to reach me.
