Who says it needs to come from Discord? These aren't heavily encrypted communications. I don't know if it's still the case, but Discord used Google at one point. Enough said. The sheer scale of data generated means they are unlikely to ever successfully identify an account if that's their intent. Where's the difference between a consumer that joins a lot of servers versus a contractor who joins a lot of servers? Where's the difference between a consumer that joins a specific server and a contractor that joins a specific server? There isn't one as far as monitoring them goes, unless they're coming from IPs known to not be civilian IPs, which is an easily solved problem for anybody to not be discovered.
