This looks like a server that would get banned. Just a warning, if you join this server and Discord bans it every single one of you will get your account banned. A couple weeks ago the WatchRedditDie server was banned, and I got an email saying my account was disabled at the exact same time. I tracked down some of my friends who were in that server, turns out every single one of them was banned at the exact same time and got the exact same message as me. And a bunch of other people got a warning just for having joined at some point.

Thanks for the heads up, we know about the T&S. The server's been up and running for almost 2 years now, no problems yet. I wouldn't be that surprised if it did get banned someday, but currently we have avoided being banned presumably for how private it is. I know of at least 12 other servers with 50-500 members that are still up. Just can't risk having it public and people reporting it, and can't grow too big. Still thinking of what possible backup options we could have. It sucks that big tech are so against freedom of speech. Do you know of any alternatives?

I've heard of Guilded and Matrix but haven't tried them. Really the only reason I even used Discord was to keep in touch with some of my old friends from Ruqqus and WatchRedditDie, who I will probably never see again thanks to this. And I know all of the ones in WatchRedditDie are probably in the same situation right now, unless they left the server or stopped using it and didn't have any roles.

That's really sad. I'm sorry to hear you've not regained contact. :(

I've seen their "Trust and Safety" try to drive people to suicide when they desperately tried to appeal (and they do not accept appeals, end of discussion). Discord would 100% have our heads on a stake if they could get away with it, and it's personal. I guess that's what you get when every single admin is a SJW gay trans furry, a low even reddit hasn't approached.
