i don't even use discord but still get those emails every year(I think someone accidentally made an account with my mail). it's crazy that these companies update their privacy policies every year, refining and adding more convoluted clauses.

Lucky you! I have to use it, because that's like the only platform where you can do a lot of stuff. But almost everything is implemented in a shitty way and I hate it. I wish Matrix (or Spacebar) became better and everyone started using them instead.
