So I have some people who want to get me into a discord chat. Is there a simple way to bridge it to matrix? I have my own matrix server but I don’t have a discord account. Is it possible to create a bridge without violating privacy?

I don’t want to create an account if I don’t have to

Yeah, you can’t really use a Matrix account/server, to connect to Discord. You could use a bot, but even then, it would require a Discord account.

I’d advise you to make an account, using an aliasing service. Then interact with Discord through the browser, NOT the client.

I just have it pinned in the browser. Not installing the app means they get less to collect.

Webcord is an alternative front-end solution that is more privacy-orientated.
