Discord may harvest IP's just like every single other service on the planet but people who start servers can not. At this point in time, with a company that has 25 million users daily, i would trust it over the security of voat. Especially considering the admin changes, the new coders implemented, and the new found confidence of SBBH users in regards to the admins giving them the green-light to curate the site and turn it into reddit.
I'm not a nerd so i don't know much, but i know that as server admin i can't get anyone's IP. the room has been around for almost a month now and there hasn't been a single alarming instance. The worst you have to watch out for is BeatlejuiceX3 joining and trying to send you phishing links and scat porn, but that hasnt happened in over 2 weeks, and you can manually disable PM's from anyone not on your PM list.
you can't connect here on voat. Not well at least. Individually it works but groups going against certain (((narratives))) are heavily prevented from congregating. The discord should have happened over a year ago tbh but most of us in there aren't IT specialists and just simply got fed up.
Some smart folks in there though that saw what happened and dont stand for it. Give it a shot, its just a fuckin chat lol. If you don't like it you can leave but it's based on the values that brought most of us to Voat initially a couple years ago.

Isn't discord a way to harvest IP addresses?

Don't let the shills prevent you from connecting to other voaters.

To be fair, I can connect here on Voat. I would prefer any alternatives to be more robust and decentralized than these silo systems.
