You don't have to have a presence established in the EU to be under EU jurisdiction. Any european user makes you responsible to ensure GDPR rules for that user.

So even if Discord had no presence in the entire EU, no office, no worker, no nothing, it doesn't absolve the company from staying within GDPR rules for their european users.

Only way to get out of that problem is to block any user with a european IP, although even then you could have users using a VPN, not sure how this would handle before the law.

That argument has always seemed recursive to me. The law that says "having an EU user means you are under EU jurisdiction" is an EU law, so for it to apply to you, you have to be under EU jurisdiction. What's the base case?
