My source is this Tumblr post, which caused me to check my settings because I just got the latest major update.
I found these settings enabled in my discord app:
I know ideally one wouldn’t use Discord at all, but so many of the nice little people in my phone are on Discord.
BTW it’s never a good idea to allow apps access to your contacts, other than your actual phone and SMS apps.
Stay safe!
Weird inconsistencies aside, this whole new design is pretty terrible imo. It feels pretty out of touch with how people actually use and navigate the platform.
