Though you're not wrong, what would a constructive answer be in this case? Discord is ignoring OP and they alone can restore service.
I don't see what constructive answer you can expect in these threads other than "I work at <company> and I DM'd the CEO for you"; I've seen FAANG companies and Stripe respond that way here on HN, but never Discord.
The best alternative I can think of is "that sucks, rotate phone numbers and try with a new account" which is just as completely useless for OP. If that were an option, they'd already done so.
this a common trend with technocrates defending technology that can basically be ripped out from under you at any moment. hopefully OP will get some help but there are many in a similar situation in many other similar apps.
Well technically you are correct but the underlying issue is Discord and unability of their tech support to change anything in regards to these blacklistings/flaggings.
It is infuriating and I don't see why these services would need my phone number.
