Using Discord in a private way? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi all,

I haven't used Discord in a while, but it became so that now I have to use it for communication with certain people getting support for some services that I use. What I'm doing currently is:

using a separate randomised e-mail address only for the Discord account
using a randomly generated username
no profile picture
tweaking the settings as best I can for privacy

Other than these points, I'm also being wary of talking about anything personal on Discord. Would you add anything so I can be even safer when using Discord?

Is Vencord superior to Discord in the web browser?

EDIT: Never mind; it has browser extensions! https://vencord.dev/download/
