Yep, and of course it's all linked to your real life identity because they basically require a phone number to use their service. This was true too of, say, WhatsApp before it enabled encryption, but with Discord it's even more insidious because most users think they are using an online pseudonym to communicate, unconnected to their real identity.
- Krasnol 7y ago> because they basically require a phone number to use their service. I have two accounts, none needed my phone number. Just e-mail. Is this new?
- catalogia 7y agoFrom what I've gathered there is some sort of reputation system in place, such that most users creating accounts from reputable residential ISP IP addresses aren't asked for a phone number, but those creating accounts from Tor/VPNs/datacenters/etc often are. Either way, you're effectively de-anonymized.
- ubercow13 7y agoYes, but I am guessing also if your IP has been used for other accounts and certainly if you use multiple residential accounts from different places (I had my account disabled while travelling). It's pretty sensitive.
