user privacy and problems with stalkers / people who wants to steal profiles.

I've had a lot of bad experiences with discord users who have been stealing my username, photos, status, banners, everything, and it's been very disheartening to me because there's nothing we can do about it. These people can just steal and use my name for a lot of bad things without anyone knowing. I wanted to give the idea here of an anonymity option for discord users, which would be basically the same as whatsapp, which allows only friends or those selected (by you) to see their profile, in this case photo, banner, status, about me and activity (such as games and spotify), would be hidden from unselected users, or off the friends list, and obviously, it would be interesting to keep only the nick and tag for everyone, as they are important for general recognition.
.. I think it's an excellent feature and so users could feel more comfortable showing their friends what they're doing, because we have only one feature on the platform today to prevent something from happening to our profile, who is the option to block ,but even blocking infractors, the person can still see the entire profile, they are only prevented from sending messages or friend requests, which I think is insufficient for those who want peace, so I ask for an anonymity feature for strange users, for everyone's privacy who likes to use discord, I think it would be a great idea, I'm counting on you guys.

I actually kinda agree, my friend got someone actually stealing their identity once, maybe not showing your profile and info to blocked users or selected ones?

we have no way of knowing who is going to copy us, so the option to disable the profile only for some specific users would be kind of useless, I think there should be some feature that makes our profile visible only to friends, or selected people (by you), the rest wouldn't see anything, no pfp, no banner, activity, about me and status, just nick and tag would be visible to everyone , which are 2 important things and there's no way to prevent them from seeing.
