Is it safe to join adult-only Discord servers with anonymous profiles?
Been thinking about joining a couple of adult‑only Discord servers, mostly out of curiosity and boredom, but I’m low‑key paranoid about how “anonymous” an anonymous profile really is. I’m using a throwaway account, no real name, no personal pics, nothing—still kinda worried someone could track me or somehow connect it back to my main. I’ve heard mixed stories, from totally safe to “don’t ever do it,” and now I’m stuck overthinking everything. Anyone here actually done this and lived to tell the tale? What should I watch out for before diving in?
Using a throwaway with no personal info is a good start, and for most people it stays private, but it’s never 100% anonymous. The main risks are oversharing, clicking sketchy links, or joining poorly moderated servers — stick to reputable communities, use strong security settings, and you’re usually fine.
I’ve used a throwaway for adult servers too—no real ID, different pic, fresh email, and I’ve been fine. Just never click weird links or share pics/info, even casually. If you're still feeling sketchy about where to join, I found a bunch of options on Discord Server List. It’s an easy way to check out the vibe of different places before jumping in with both feet.
