It's interesting how Discord absolutely nukes its own trust by pretending to be more than it is. I loathe discord, to the point I'd use a competitor (not teams) just to evade it. I'm sick of finding a hobby group using it as a Frankenstein forum / chat / info hub when it's only built for chat.

Discord is fine for this use, but I'm getting used to the distrusting it so often that it blends into reasonable use.

    It's freaking everyone. Every niche is Discord now. It's so annoying.

    ...That being said, this is likely a private chat group. That's ostensibly what its for.

    They probably should've used something anonymized with non-persistant chat, but still.

    Hard to organize when you can’t look at history.

    Not to mention, discord can easily be anonymous, and you can easily kill off viewing history.

    True.

    Makes me wonder how they got caught? Discord basically not anonymos by default, so maybe no-one anonymized and someone in the channel reported it all to managment?
