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?

[-] Lukecis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bro... look in the settings, they literally give you a button to request your collected data.

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?

If you boil down every single aspect of information they possibly can gather on you to "analytics"- sure, however Discord got rid of the functionality to disable analytic data collection years ago iirc, and the button to 'delete my information' was removed around the same time- and replaced with the 'request my data' button.

But you should also know if you install it, it's been claimed (I'm too lazy to look it up, I just know that I've read/watched a video about it years ago) that it collects data on what you do across your entire pc, to at least the same extent that microsoft's default telemetry does. This is due to them monitoring your pc at all times so it can integrate with whatever game you are playing- of course.
