Don't join the Discord server. If it gets banned your account is also in danger. In WatchRedditDie they only banned the few people who were actually participating in the server (i.e. me), but sometimes it's EVERY account period.

Yeah why they would choose a censorship friendly platform like discord as a backup is beyond me.

Not only that, but Discord just doesn't do a good job at all. It's so easy to abuse their system that there are entire companies dedicated to selling "get a Discord server banned" for like $20. Basically what they do is raid the server with a bunch of stuff that breaks the rules and mass report it. Discord doesn't bother to check anything, so they just delete the server and every account on it gets disabled.

Where can one find such a service?

I don't know and I wouldn't tell you if I did. Why would you want to do that?

I think you're making it up.

No I'm serious, those companies actually exist. They work because Discord's system is so easy to abuse, and Discord doesn't care.

it’s kinda like the NFL exclusively hiring refs that fix games

Controlled opposition. All other suggestions were shadow banned. They were herded into a gated protest zone.

They recently banned my 10 year old account. I'd never even had a warning of any kind or a suspension in that entire 10 year period.

Discord has only been around since 2015, how can your account be 10 years old?

I was thinking about Reddit. My bad.
