If something like this happens, I'm setting up a Matrix room as something on the side for if people who work on the same project I do want out of this garbage.

If you have a discord account, they already know who you are. If you tried to get an account anonymously, they'd ban you and demand a phone number.
I never used discord because it was never possible to do so securely. Friends dont let friends use discord.
Use matrix or something better.
The annoying thing is that a lot of support or even downloadable content is on Discord exclusively. We've had similar shitty trends with Facebook, Tumblr, etc. and it just is annoying. People claim it's where most people are but ignore the fact that it is impossible to access for everyone who is not.

Does anybody have any suggestions for alternatives for chats?
I use it a lot for classes (students use them) and video games.
I used to use TeamSpeak. Very cross platform, as it should be. It still has great reviews although I haven’t dug that far into the privacy aspect yet
I needed my face, ID, and username to get unbanned (disco was convinced I'm underage)

huh...sounds like an invasion of privacy.
good thing I never used discord because of the toxicity and pedophiles.
nothing gained, nothing lost.
Discord has always been an invasion of privacy. They require a phone number for ages
