>i would still rather know peoples discords too
Discord requires disclosing either your phone number or your IP address to make an account, unless you know of a good (free) way to get around that. Heyuri has a Steam group but I've heard Steam requires you to buy something to be able to message people and use most social features, which discloses your payment info. Maybe there's a way around that I don't know about? Heyuri's MAL club would be better since MAL doesn't require any personal info and doesn't block most VPN servers.
