Hello Lemmy!

I recently discovered the "Request my data" function of Discord. Now that I have the data Discord knows about me.

I would like to make an experiment that could be used to explain how metadata can say a lot about people.

The problem is, I never done that :grinning face with sweat: so I would like to know how I could get everything I can, only from the metadata contained in the package.

I know it's possible, according to the length of calls, the umber of messages, etc, to guess what kind of relation a user have with another, but I don't know how to do that.

This is a description of the data package: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004957991

Can you help me to know what are the information I can determine about myself using this package (only the metadata, or it's not fair :p)

Thanks in advance!

This is a question I am wondering. I try to avoid as much as I can platforms like YouTube, Discord, Whatsapp, Zoom, etc. But I just can't! For YouTube I love the content to much to quit it. I actually uses Invidio.us and NewPipe to avoid this problem. I just need to import my subscriptions.

Then you got the case of some social medias where it doesn't depends on you. For example I need to use Whatsapp for school even if I hate it, same for Zoom.

I also got friends and communities that are only on Discord.

Do you already had these issues? How are you dealing with them?

Thanks in advance!
