Using Discord has always been a risky choice. If you're a guest in other people's "servers", Discord can at any moment decide to lock you out of all your communities and contacts. They have been known to do this in order to extort personal information like a phone number or ID, for example. If you run a "server", they can likewise shut it down at any moment, effectively destroying years of accumulated knowledge and contacts. They have done this to business owners who relied on it for customer interactions.

IMHO, we really shouldn't be using Discord.
