Why do so many people doing illegal/shady shit online use Discord? You might as well be using Facebook at the point.

Before Discord they were using IRC which was printing your IP address (or reverse DNS) when joining a channel.

The IRC networks I used did not block VM's and rented servers from proxying my connection or using an IRC client from a tmux/screen session. Back then I could use visa gift cards to rent machines. That is harder to do now.

Discord in most cases will prevent people from doing this. Most people should be ready to click all the crosswalks, buses, traffic lights forever in a loop.
