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!

    What the hell did you guys do to OP to make him throw a fit and delete a post over… discord?

    Though I can confirm that sync contacts was enabled and I do not recall ever having done so, so there’s my two cents

        But that comment was correct and not offensive. What happened? Was there some kind of argument / rudeness, which I am not seeing?

          I saw the comment before it was removed. It was along the lines of OP saying,

          “This is the type of reddit response that I moved to Lemmy to avoid” and then continued on a few more sentences antagonizing the person for making a dissenting comment. Essentially finishing with “just because you aren’t having the issue doesn’t mean tumblr and I aren’t”.

          IMO the commenter wasn’t out of line by any means. It may not have been insightful or additive, but the response it received was tonally angry and not very nice. “My guy” isn’t instigatory by any means, IMO at least. However, other comments OP responded to didn’t all have this same inflection so it may have just been getting tired of the same kind of responses.

          Either way, I think it was an overreaction overall. OP has no way of knowing with certainty that this setting had been disabled by them before and subsequently re-enabled by Discord, obviously we have no proof either, and given the litany of comment saying it was disabled without user interaction we quickly fall into speculative territory. Which is meaningless and easily becomes what we see here in this thread, very very quickly.

          And of course, it doesn’t help that the closing comment of the thread is “Apparently we can’t have a civil discussion here without arrogant assholes inserting themselves into the conversation so they can gaslight us. This has become as bad as reddit.”

          So effectively doubling down on the “I moved here away to get away from reddit opinions”, calling anyone who has a tone arrogant and uncivil? Further fueling the fire.
