Discord is getting in on the "AI" trend with testing of new features utilizing user data scraping, potentially for training a large language model. To disable the only settings which might affect your data being utilized for this, go to the Privacy & Safety section of your Settings. From there, toggle off both "Use data to improve Discord" and "Use data to customize my Discord experience."

@Texan_Reverend I'm curious about Guilded or Matrix, and whether these are viable alternatives for people wanting to leave Discord

@Catwoman69y2k @Texan_Reverend i've been using Matrix for over a year and it's an entirely different experience from discord. instead of getting blasted by a high-pressure hose of random BS, it's an actual social platform!

@shitpostalotl @Texan_Reverend I have begun to just start using it more. Back in 2017-2019 I had tried using Matrix for a collaboration group. Sadly, I couldnt get the team to leave Slack but I thoight about its potential.

So far I have run into furs.chat and cyberfurz homeservers. The former seems to only have a general room but I'm hoping they will break out some tertiary channels for specific side interests and cross-over interests
