I still use reddit for purposes ranging from getting solutions to pastimes. Same for discord. There are a few communities on it that I need to be connected, most notably dev related.

What suggestions would you guys make? Are there any bridges/frontend I could use to get more privacy?

    I like to be part in the discussions in the topics that I’m interested in, or at least just read people’s opinions. I already don’t use any other social media, and am not very social irl due to circumstances. Your suggestion would ensure that I turn into a hermit, and might as well live under a rock.

      lol the absolutism of people in privacy communities can be really be so unhelpful and tonedeaf at times

      For discord there’s a couple things that can increase privacy to some degree, OpenAsar has some options related to privacy and tracking and will speed up load times, no clue how effective the anti-tracking feature is though. You could also use modded or 3rd party clients, I remember hearing about Powercord back when I used discord more and Replugged seems to be the continuation of that project. I also remember hearing of clients that basically simplifies the app to an IRC client with a super basic gui, I’ll edit if I remember the name
