I personally wouldn't touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.

You should be the change that you want.

Obviously, create alt accounts so that you can talk to yourself.

I did bring it up to my small group of eFriends a while back but no traction.
Even then the other groups are a lost cause, unfortunately.

Yeah that happens a lot. I myself will not force my friends or family to uproot their online persona and change platforms just because I found a better alternative.

Because, I know that I'm not the only person they're using it for. They have their own social circles and I don't want to burden them to have to sacrifice or add an additional app just so they can satisfy my preference.
