1: I'm not in the USA

2: people don't really care that much

3: It's so easy to protect your identity

4: you can talk about things without incriminating yourself

3 is untrue. Discord blocks or requires tons more verification steps for most VPNs and blocks VoIP numbers.

I have been trying to use Discord anonymously for a long time. Antispam and anti-logging are high priorities of theirs, and they invest significant resources into ensuring you can’t easily make disposable accounts.

Not only is it not “so easy”, it’s not easy at all - it’s extremely difficult and becoming moreso all of the time.

Well, don't join any of those discords lest your imagination be disappointed I suppose.

Most of the world is not so paranoid. Particularly psychedelic users who don't see the substances as a problem.

It’s not paranoia to point out that the War On Drugs exists in the USA and that the US has imprisoned four million people resulting from same.

Also, paranoia has a definition - can we please stop colloquially using it to mean “anxiety”? Paranoia means delusions.
