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.

There is a Matrix bridge bot for Discord but the server owner has to set that up on the Discord and Matrix side first

I know you can use webhooks to post messages without an a separate account, so a server owner could set it up for you, but I don’t know that you can read messages that way.

Do any of your other bridges to systems that have accounts allow you to chat without an account?
