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!
I wouldn’t be terribly surprised! This makes me feel that perhaps it was good to post this. The more people check this setting, the less discord would be able to benefit from such a strategy. In any case, it never hurts to review one’s privacy settings from time to time.
