Why would a company like discord even attempt to take action against coordinated attacks against anything they see as a threat? That'd only be shooting them in the foot because then people would have the most minute expectation of them doing anything good.
Because some of these actions might qualify as criminal offenses and if Discord had knowledge about it or even supported it, they'd be complicit.
Ah, Japan, the country that lives in the future, if the future is the year 2000.
From the perspective of looking at the internet of today, the future is 1996.
