I could use discord in a mobile browser but it’s a bit weird since I mostly use discord for calls than messaging.

Perhaps are there any open source clients that still work ?

    You can try all you like, but the reality is that as long as you’re logged into their service (which you’d need to be to use it), they will track you in ways that you can’t shield yourself from.

    If you want to try:

    • Set up an account and use the service through a VPN.
    • Register using email/names/information that is not linked to your actual personal info.
    • Use a DNS adblocker, or something like Adguard on Android to block any app-side trackers.
    • Opt out of whatever you can through Discord (not that I think they abide by it, but all you can do is try).

        That’s when I hit “DELETE ACCOUNT” because there isn’t a single service I can’t live without, and these companies keep pushing their luck.

        I remember when I closed a Roblox account, which i only created to play with my son years ago, and they wanted my DRIVER’S LICENSE. I told them quite firmly that if I was able to create an account without one, they sure as hell arent getting it now. They deleted the account. LOL
