Wait wait wait, what? You got banned for sharing a link in DMs? Are you certain none of the people you DM'd it to reported it? And it wasn't something blatantly malicious like a malware EXE? If so, that would be a massive story that would get thousand of upvotes in the subreddit very quickly. That makes me think there might be something more to this.

This was the link: https://sneak.berlin/20200220/discord-is-not-an-acceptable-choice-for-free-software-projects/ https://sneak.berlin/20200220/discord-is-not-an-acceptable-c... My account was less than a day old, and both the initial registration, as well as the connection at the time of suspension were via Tor, which may account for the fact that it was incorrectly identified as spam. Censorship is censorship, though; connecting via a privacy network should not suddenly mean you can't link your friends to your own website without getting summarily deleted. It's not really a massive story; people simply don't give a shit that Discord is a surveillance/censorship platform. I think amongst younger people there is a general sense of "they can read all of it on every platform, who cares anymore" fatalism, and anyone who refuses to participate on that basis or complains about it is seen as an inconvenient whiner who should just click AGREE on the ToS without reading it like everyone else did, and leak their physical location/residential address to Discord via their home IP or phone number, like everyone else did. Unfortunately, I (and others like me) do not have that luxury. For physical safety reasons, if I cannot participate without leaking my location, I cannot participate at all.
