Yeah I’ve already warned my discord friends that the moment I have to show my ID I’m out of there without a goodbye. It sucks, but I just can’t compromise further. Personal ID’s are an absolute red line.

Ahem, plenty of Discord alternatives out there ;) Nothing wrong with making a backup or bridge!
I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Discord is simply not that important.

Yeah, for some reason I ran into that issue, too. I'm not giving my governmental ID to some random corporation. If that means I can't use their services, then so be it.
Someone always has to be the first to say "no thanks" to their bs.
Yeah I basically told my discord friends that I’m not going to be held hostage with the threat of losing contact with them, so if they want to communicate with me they can hit me up by other means which I shared.
How many people on Discord would really give ID? It's not Facebook; all their names are pseudonyms, and they're talking privately.
There is a significant subset of the population that has a lot of their social life on discord. They’re not going to let something as simple as ID verification cut them off from their friends. You and I know how important it is to protect PII, but we are probably older and remember a time when more importance was placed on protecting your identity.
