        Not having ads? Lmao what? It literally spams you to buy nitro every chance it gets & it’s not exactly free- they harvest quite literally every single drop of information they possibly can about you.

          Huh, I haven’t heard about Discord harvesting data yet. Got something specific to read about that?

              So, basically, payment information and analytics, the latter of which you can disable. Everything else is the data that Discord is meant to store (as in messages, settings, all the other stuff I expect it to display back to me in the app). I mean, it could store less, but overall it doesn’t seem that bad?

          I only had to read two of your comments to know I never want to read another one again.

          Time to look for that block user option.

              I look at it like this: I’ve seen, heard and read enough shit in my 48 years to know when I’m better off without certain types of people. So I block them. I’ll never have to read a comment and see that username again and go, “oh, this fucker again… ugh”

              In no way do I suffer from this approach and lose out on some enlightenment or critical information.its a win, win.

              Worst case scenario is I blocked a decent person, but I’ll never know and it still won’t make my life any less fulfilling.

              And for the record, I dont spend my days blocking people. Maybe four to six people a month (on Reddit), probably far less here, because most users seem decently grounded in comparison, with far less emotional issues.

              But fuck yeah, I do love the block function when someone gives me that bad energy moment. It’s liberating.
