Discord (PLEASE READ)

General
Please read whole journal before commenting. Thank you. ❤️ So scammers are getting worse and more crafty. They're now impersonating users, mostly artists I follow but barely ever talked to outside of commissions. One of them as an artist that actually warned people about this, tried to contact me and I knew something was off. Thankfully I stopped and dropped/blocked them before anything else happened.
So to play it safe, I will no longer display my Discord name in public. And if anyone remembers it's as my username anywhere, I've added some numbers to it so only friends and mutuals already in my contacts list will know it.
If anyone wants to contact me on Discord, you will have to note me. And to make sure it's you, I will ask you who you are and you must answer me your FA username. If you don't answer or follow these rules: you will be ignored/blocked.
I advise others to do this too to keep safe. Scammers are a plague upon the internet. Stay safe.

Yeah, That's why I have contacts with friends outside of Discord. With places like here, Telegram, Twitter, BlueSky, DA(who still uses that place) and other places

I have contacts everywhere but Telegram and Twitter. Discord is my main private hub.

Ah… well it’s helpful to have those too. I’ve had a friend who had that happen to them but they told me over on Telegram that their account had gotten hacked, and to not click on anything from it.

Hackers and scammers are everywhere on the internet. Almost no safe place anywhere.

Yeah, but that’s why we must be vigilant against them, but the way things are going, I might be willing to make peace with some of the hackers

I’ll take the first option.
