Discord was pretty cool at the time, and it still is, since nothing else really competes with even its text chat in terms of speed, features, ease of use, and looking pretty. Three and a half years ago, on, I signed up for Discord. I will explain some history and then go through my Discord data package with you.

I expect there have been posts like this in the past, but this one is mine. It only assesses the contents of the data package. This reddit post, with different information, continues below. Please see my other blog post on my website to read about all the reasons you shouldn't trust Discord.
