Always had a hard time with keeping my account or opening a new one, as they constantly demand you (or at least me, but I’ve read about a couple other users with the same experience) to hand over your phone number, which they will use for SMS based verification before you can log in.
It’s hard to find Voip numbers that work. If you try hard enough, they may even block your account irreversibly.
Maybe they are doing it to me because in my browser I block the web requests that are targeted at their tracking focused endpoint, which by the way was somewhat scummily renamed some time ago to “science”, so that popular inferior adblockers don’t block them.
Other than that, I’ve heard that r/discord is modded by their employees, who silence anyone (with deletion of post and blocking the user from the sub) who complains about these and similar things.
I haven’t read the last couple of updates, but when I did read their privacy policy at one point, it said they hold the rights to do whatever they wanted with all your message history or sell them. Not good imo.
i don’t think there’s one worst one, they’re all bad
Meta Google/YouTube Microsoft Discord Amazon Duo Security Tiktok Spotify most paid streaming services Patreon, Onlyfans, etc.
What did discord do? their privacy policy is pretty airtight, but please elaborate!
Another bloody US-based company out for monopoly targeting a quite new group (back then): gamers.
It had its benefits, but will end up like them all. Selling all your shit and letting you pay for it. Monthly of course.
Wouldn’t touch that crap with a 10foot-pole.
