    Well, tencent did make a sizable investment in Reddit a few years back.

    But then again r/fuckthecpp was a pretty active sub that received pretty much no censorship from the CCP as far as I know.

    I try and avoid Discord though …they farm way too much data. I use it only when co workers insist on using the platform, but I always begrudgingly mention Matrix clients like Element instead.

        You can open up ublock origin, noscript, or even just your network manager in your browser’s devtools console to take a look. I just remember it being a lot.

        The YouTuber trafotin does a good job showcasing how to best harden it, but unlike most sites, discord has made their app unusable unless you allow pretty much all of their trackers through.
