I use discord for chatting with friends, and voice chatting for games. Nothing important should happen there

Very well said - opsec is definitely important.

Honestly I think the burden of context rests with the user. This is unfriendly, of course, but this is one of the times you are reminded the world doesn't care. Nothing is "nice". Security/privacy/ad intrusion is the individual's burden.

I’d even argue that most platforms are directly adversarial to a users individual privacy. User data is such a hot commodity these days that it’s even beyond planning your own privacy, but you’re essentially farming out your data for free.

Disclosure: I use Discord and plenty of similar apps, but it’s important to protect yourself.

I'd prefer Mumble for voice chat when gaming.
