My source is this Tumblr post, which caused me to check my settings because I just got the latest major update.
I found these settings enabled in my discord app:


I know ideally one wouldn’t use Discord at all, but so many of the nice little people in my phone are on Discord.
BTW it’s never a good idea to allow apps access to your contacts, other than your actual phone and SMS apps.
Stay safe!


This particular OP tends to be fairly contentious, I’m surprised Beehaw didn’t ever take action on his account.
Beehaw doesn’t ban you for having an opinion loudly.
What it does address typically is when users are horrifically disrespectful or rude…which usually the OP was not.
I guess they just reached their limit of patience.
