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?
thanks for the recommendation, but unfortunately due to my privacy settings, most cloudflare sites do not work, I just get endless “are you human” prompts that never go away.
Plus any site that uses crimeflare isn’t private anyway because they can MITM all your traffic including credit card info etc.
If you’re on Tor, that’s the very unfortunate reality atm. If you’re on a VPN, you may try switching providers or servers inside the same provider. I can recommend Mullvad, which works very well, even if you get some CAPTCHAs.
Neither, it happens because my browser settings make it more difficult for them to fingerprint me which makes it think I’m a bot or something untrustworthy.
Interesting, my Discord profile is also very hardened, and while it prompts me for confirmation, it’s always doable in a moment
