Hi all,

I haven’t used Discord in a while, but it became so that now I have to use it for communication with certain people getting support for some services that I use. What I’m doing currently is:

  • using a separate randomised e-mail address only for the Discord account
  • using a randomly generated username
  • no profile picture
  • tweaking the settings as best I can for privacy

Other than these points, I’m also being wary of talking about anything personal on Discord. Would you add anything so I can be even safer when using Discord?

    What is your threat model?

    If your running discord on your computer, you have to assume they know its your computer, your location, and any other PII on your computer.

    If you just dont want third parties (other than discord) to know which groups your in, then what you describe is probably fine.
