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?
Note that any text send to discord currently stays there forever. I don't know when, but you can bet your ass they will be investigated for a violation of the GDPR, which hopefully stops that for good.
There is also Vesktop by Vencord devs, which uses web version too and allows to install plugins and custom themes with ease.
Also, please note that using any 3rd-party client/tool/script is against Discord's TOS.

Yep, but there are Undiscord and discord-delete, that can bulk-delete your messages. Both are outdated, though and don't work perfectly well.
