So I’ve started using Ublock Origin on my firefox on Ubuntu, and I noticed that it showed no blocked trackers on the webapp of discord. I’m well aware of the perils of using any service that doesnt support e2ee for private messaging and i hate discord for that and being corporate, But i was wondering how bad would it be for browsing communities on it given the supposed and seemingly “lack” of trackers detected for it.
Discord says they aren’t selling user data, but from the job descriptions they’re currently hiring for you can see that they are clearly collecting and analyzing a lot of it:
I can’t seem to open those links, it says the job offer no longer exists? 🤔
they still load for me… also, the first 3 are on archive.org:

- https://web.archive.org/web/20230314182529/https://discord.com/jobs/6588400002
(and the last one says it is saving there now but hasn’t yet)
