From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Took them long enough
Finally, Tho i dont use the desktop app anymore. (Hint electron)
But still doesn't accept my legitimate phone number, which is mandatory now.
Only in servers that enabled that verification. Its a server setting

Dear Discord Privacy Team!
I'm writing to you to inform you that your platform (mobile, desktop, browser) can enforce the user to verify their account with a phone number, after the user has changed their E-Mail adress. This is a serios privacy problem! I'd like you to verify that you don't intend on providing other (more privacy friendly) means of account verification apart from providing the phone number. I suddenly cannot use my Discord account due to this and I object to providing a phone number.
Kind regards, ~sntx

But its a server setting to need phone verification. Im on a ton of servers and never provided them my phone number. One server changed access rights manually for my username because i refused to give discord my phone number when they enabled the verification requirement haha.
Also, their response is terrible haha
Fuck Discord! 🙂
Why?
Centralized social media. Poison of the masses. If they control the pullpit, they control the congregation. Tale as old as time.
The founder's shady history with OpenFeint, their entire privacy policy and shit like this, take your pick. Wikipedia also has an entire section dedicated to Discord's controversies. No matter how you look at it, Discord has a great many shortcomings.
These articles are very old and not super relevant any more. Sources of 2018 and 2019, while a lot has changed over the years.
I'm not here to "defend" Discord and pretend it's all gravy, but if you want to make a compelling argument, I think it's a good idea to stick to current, factual information.

Did you even read them? They changed for worst all the points remain.
