But all jokes aside - Discord in an incognito tab, problem solved. If you donāt want them to have your IP use a VPN. I donāt think our data is much of value anyways really. If they want to sell my bad memes let them.
I know your comment was a joke, but since this is so commonly said thing i just have to comment on it. Everyone has completely innocent but private information that can cause them harm in wrong hands. People should always think what information is given/collectable about them (and by who) when using any services and how it can affect them/others. There is nothing wrong about keeping things private, sometimes it is even required (for example by line of work etc.). People i trust the least are the ones who always say they got nothing to hide - it makes me feel they are not trustworthy.
Hats off for Kyrel for advicing people with these things, as i have often been happy to see him doing.
If we are talking about this, then I want to add that sometimes attempting to be less tracable (for example, deactivating JavaScript, blocking ads etc) can in some circumstances make someone more trackable than without doing that. Since the masses donāt take any step to avoid tracking, a session that does is sometimes followed in a much easier way.
Thank you for asking and to be straight i have been considering but i donāt know if it would be place for me. While i know all people there are super nice i am more of a small circle chatter when it comes to discord and similar ārolling chatā environments. Also (as some might know ) i donāt know correct protocols for commenting cat pictures! Dog pictures are different thing though.
To be honest, it is very relaxed, informal and just a nice environment, we do talk -a lot- especially in the late evenings, and some of the guys and gals organise raid runs and stuff, sometimes there are cat pictures. Sometimes discussions about what is acceptable on a Pizza (I am a Heretic in those discussions apparently, as well as for my dislike of cheese), it never gets super serious, and it is fun having people talking from all over the place, From the USA to South Africa, to the far East of Europe, and then the obligatory Scandinavians and Brits (Hi!)
It genuinely is a nice place.
Also, Araj, we donāt always agree with each other, I donāt agree with the dietary choices Lxser was advocating (I canāt even go into detail here, but everyone was like āNo! Thats Illegal!ā but generally people kind of just go āOh, actually I know the other Forum goers a bit better nowā So its good for that.
