Apparently we can’t have a civil discussion here without arrogant assholes inserting themselves into the conversation so they can gaslight us. This has become as bad as reddit.

If you want to discuss the problems with discord, then take it to tumblr, I guess.

I’m done here. Peace to most of you who were nice, and to the few who weren’t, I hope I never see you around again. Bye.

    The “Sync Contacts” setting is weird. You can toggle it on, but it doesn’t gain or ask for the OS permissions on Android. There’s a brief message saying you have to give it the permission. No idea why they didn’t just use the built in SDK to ask for the permission.

      This whole thing is weird. Two people have commented saying it’s not enabled for them, but I feel certain I didn’t enable it myself, and it was enabled for me after the latest update.

      Edit: Someone in a discord server said it wasn’t enabled for them either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        It was disabled for me.

        Stranger still, the other screenshot you posted did have the “Allow contacts to add me” checkbox checked, but it only appears when you tap “Add Friends.” When you leave that screen and return, the checkbox is always checked. It makes me think it’s a setting solely applicable to that screen, like just for the “Find Friends” button, and not to your profile as a whole. IDK if that even makes sense.

        It was enabled for me and I’m very glad I saw this post so I could disable it. I would have never known it existed.

            I’m in Washington State. Perhaps it’s something else. I had Nitro and canceled it this year. I don’t remember turning off this specific setting but maybe I did and it’s kept it since? My phone is a S21. I’ve had my Discord account since Dec 2015. The only thing I can think of is that I’ve used my Discord account in California which has slightly different privacy laws than the USA.
