If you have a discord account, they already know who you are. If you tried to get an account anonymously, they'd ban you and demand a phone number.
I never used discord because it was never possible to do so securely. Friends dont let friends use discord.
Use matrix or something better.
listen we need to have a chat,
you and me and some others on here understand using matrix and signal and whatever for E2EE chats. The people who use discord/facebook messenger/imessage/sms/whatsapp DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about this stuff. They are only going to use what is in pop culture. That's how it is and i know it sucks, but people think its easy to "Get your family/friends over" whey they laugh at you and say "im not downloading just use x plz"
If your family doesn't download the only (free and accessible) app you use, they're not your family
To be fair, the same argument can be applied both ways.
Not if you can't use the app they use because it requires a phone number or gapps.
Whereas they can use the app you use because it works fine on their device.
