The implementation doesn't matter. Current options for bypassing it don't matter. The nature of the content being blocked doesn't matter.

The root problem is that Discord is asking users for their real identity in exchange for accessing social media content. That is a line that simply should not be crossed.

They can change the implementation later. They can make it harder to bypass. They can identify users who bypassed it and start them over from square one. They can change what type of content is blocked. They can alter the deal, but users cannot take back their identity once it is handed over.

Discord has become a platform that is outwardly adversarial to its users. Don't try to fight it. Don't keep investing in a platform that's actively hostile to you. Cut your losses now and find something else.
