      It’s how I stay in touch with friends. I use Vesktop. Flatpak. Removes the tracking

      Edit: appreciate the concern, but we talk about games and stuff. I’m not doing banking or personal shit on discord. If China records whatever is said, not too worried about PII

      Sometimes there isn’t a choice because others you’re in contact with prefer discord.

      Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?

        If you don’t support their choice to use discord, perhaps they will leave discord and go to something better. The same applies to twitter, instagram, facebook etc

        “Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?”

        Be the change

      I found out the other week that its the only social media I have left. Except LinkedIn but in this economy…?

      Anyway, its my most reliable way to talk to all of my friends and half my family, and I hate it. But hey, at least its not Facebook.

      I run fedora for my main pc, cachyos on my laptop and ubuntu server for the home server PC - for the Linux street cred.
