I love technology, but I’m sad to see what it has lead to. What used to be something fun and enjoyable to engage in, now presents itself as an intrusion and attack upon personal privacy and security.
These days, I’m more focused on protecting my privacy/security.

You’re right, but I was speaking from the standpoint of someone who needs to be connected to Discord (although I admit that I probably didn’t make that point obvious). In those cases, a client such as Webcord, can block things such as telemetry, fingerprinting and third party website access which help lessen the information Discord can actually collect on you. Granted, it’s not ideal, but it is a better option for those who just can’t live without Discord in their lives.
From a privacy perspective, I use and prefer Matrix/Element. I also admit that setting matrix up isn’t the easiest thing to do and could keep people from adopting it.
I’ll only accesss Discord if I can find a good third party app that respects privacy. On my computer I use Webcord for this, but I haven’t found anything similar to use on a phone.
I’m from the same area, and my wife and I want to move somewhere else as well. We can’t stand South Florida.
A change of relationships takes time. At first, the old relationship still has a persuasion-pull upon someone, but as time moves on that all changes.
