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).

I use Aliucord which by default removes many of the associated Discord trackers.
It should be noted that all 3rd party apps are against Discord TOS. No one has ever been banned for these clients as far as I know, but it is possible that they could start banning in the future.

When they ban thats when will use there app as a web app inside Hermit…but for now I prefer Vendetta over aliucord which is far more updated and has themes and plugins support
