Discord has bad policies for new contacts

Discord has bad policies for making new contacts. Someone contacting us should give permission for us to contact them. ## A stranger direct messaged me with an invitation to a server. I cannot respond to ask how he knows me because he does not accept direct messages from strangers, and we do not have a common server. Discord is forcing people to join unknown servers to ask inviters how we know them, and for reasons why we might want to join their server. If someone contacts us, we should be allowed to respond without joining unknown servers which could be full of malicious bots. ##### I am top Software Developer. I offered to work with Discord a few times as Executive, Manager, or Programmer of any or every part of Discord. I received automated rejection letters, gave up. ## While trying to send this feedback, Discord sowed using Zendesk. When Comcast needed the best Software Developer to plug security holes in their HR systems, I fixed over 40 security concerns. Half were in core Zendesk software. A few months later, Zendesk told their customers they must immediately upgrade Zendesk to fix security holes leaking data for at least 4 years. ## I would not care Discord does not feel they deserve my help if I did not feel Discord could become the best communication software. I want to evangelize a product from Discord which I doubt is on Discord's 10‐year plans.

    1. Is this Feedback to Discord employees? Or does Discord like to share all their mistakes with the public? Why would that be their standard process?
    ## 2. What advantage is gained by removing formatting? I had 5 paragraphs separated by blank lines. Now just a couple dashes between the 2 paragraphs about Discord's mistake (2 sentence summary, then real example) and 3 extra paragraphs (Discord not hiring me. What I did for Comcast and Zendesk. Why I want to work with Discord.) Removing formatting to make one huge run-on paragraph is bad. ##

    EDIT: Changed paragraph separator to ## and the section separator to #####. Still barely readable. I wish Discord would hire me, at least to teach developers how to retain paragraph breaks.
