They're anonymous with one another if they want, just like most of the internet pre-Facebook. Discord still has their email and IP, and possibly their phone number. Inciting violence (some of this planned violence is couched in self-defense terms) might be a sensible place to draw the line on free speech, but in Brandenburg v. Ohio the Supreme Court defined that as being likely to cause "imminent lawless action". In other words, "someone ought to take revenge on [person]" is legal, but "there's [person], time to get him!" is not. However, that was almost 50 years ago, and I'd make the case that speech on the internet is more likely to cause imminent lawless action because of its reach. This lawsuit is a civil conspiracy suit, not a criminal charge. I can't find the actual filing but I imagine that unmasking people could be a part of delineating the conspirators and uncovering any additional relationships between them.
