Discord Shrimp Link Privacy Update

@everyone. Discord is trying to sneak in unannounced privacy changes again. A new beta feature called "Shrimp Link" allows shrimps to psionically connect and read your thoughts. You have to dig up the new setting and manually opt-out. Go into your User Settings, and uncheck the option under Shrimp Link to opt out. No one was sent a message stating this was happening.

A fake Discord announcement claims that a hidden beta feature called “Shrimp Link” lets shrimps psionically connect to users and read their thoughts. The joke parodies Discord’s unexpected privacy changes and opt-out settings by presenting an absurd conspiracy as a serious software update, making it useful as a reaction to invasive platform changes or suspicious announcements.
