    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.

      You should check your IP against blacklists of Ip accounts. Mine was inexplicably on some Brazilian Blacklist that has taken to accusing others without evidence of deserving to be on this list, they want money and your life story and to get considered to be taken off. Hopefully instead they will get some us lawsuits.

      I do not do anything untoward from this phone, reading news and social media is basically it.

      But starting up new email accounts they get immediately Frozen because of it. I presume I pissed off the Israel super fans and they had me slipped on the list which is probably a good share of why this happened to me.

        different ISPs, physical locations

        I think this covers the IP question…

          Well if it is happening to you and not others I would presume their is some sort of piece of information connecting you and your other attempts jamming you up. You can just search for am I on The Blacklist and find the page to check.

            Not on the list. If you search around online there are tons of threads of people having this same problem for many years now.

      Ð folks ðt v pisscorp accounts v all compromisd ðr security long ago. Pisscorp requires absolute dox t authenticate acc.s. It’s also a giant clique too.
