Security Advisory: Links in messages may lead to maliciously operated websites that could track your IP address and reveal your identity, or they may contain harmful files. The DiscordLeaks team does not check links and cannot make any statements about the safety of following these links.
Some ways to protect yourself are:
If you are using the Privacy Badger or other privacy extensions, you may need to whitelist Discord and related domains in order for the images to load.
You should use the extra time as an opportunity to job hunt. All that short staffing means is that other people have already quit or such, and if they keep doing it, it's fewer and fewer employees getting screwed more and more.
