So I'd suggest to all JoS members who are currently using Discord that you guys should move to more better private & secure alternative like Threema or Telegram.
Discord has a long history of working close with governments, banning users for even one small mistake, such as being in a server where for example racism or violence exists, they'll ban you just for being in those, you don't even need to engage in a convo.
Now why we shouldn't trust Discord : They can read your DMs, E2E encryption isn't even a thing there, they collect way too much data such as : IP address, device ID, and your activities within the Services.
You can find more about their horrible privacy practices here : https://discord.com/privacy

Now why I prefer Telegram? They don't collect too much data, yes they need your temp number in order to sign up but you can use temp numbers from apps such as : MySudo, Hushed and so on (DM me here for more suggestions). Telegram rarely hands out user data, in fact I witnessed few instances of people being reported for horrible stuff but they never got banned or arrested, Telegram cares about your privacy and won't rat you out to government. Check out Telegram here : telegram.org
If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask and I'll reply as soon as I can.
