I don't understand how people are even able to use discord in the first place.

Every time I try to make an account, something goes wrong.

  • endless captcha loops

  • stuck in preview mode forever, no joins to a server ever succeed

  • immediate inexplicable ban

  • phonewalls right after creating account

  • immediate ban after providing a real phone number, that has never been used for discord

  • "our automated system is working correctly, appeal denied"

I have tried multiple different desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices, across different browsers, ISPs, physical locations and operating systems, with nothing in common and no VPN/proxy or anything like that. For years. It just does. not. work.
