Yep. I never post about my kids online, and never have. I will share photos and news directly with my own family over email, or our private discord server, but that's it. I also forbid my family from talking about me on social media other than in generic terms.
Have you considered switching to Matrix or Signal over Discord?
Signal is pretty good
Yes. Such a pain in the a$$ to get the family to switch though. I use Matrix myself all the time.
While that is better, that company still has access to all your content that is hosted there, as I understand it.
This might not seem bad but in case of a leak, breach or similar (which happens often sadly) everything is out there, too.
And when the hosting company gets bought, a whole new bunch of people will suddenly be in control of all your content, public and private, deleted or not, complete with copyright (even if limited), and all the freedom to immediately change TOS.
Yeah, about that. Discord is a privacy nightmare, so how about, no. A simple group chat would do, hell even WhatsApp has more encryption and privacy protection than discord.
