Using discord for this is such a bonehead move.

That would effectively lock participation behind Discord's terms and conditions. No thanks.

I mean, it's kind of silly to lock it behind Discord, but just forcing admits to have a Discord account isn't that egregious. You're not forced to use it outside of communicating with Bluesky admins (or whatever goes on in that server).

I don't know how old this document is, but I created my own PDS this weekend and it's not have to join their Discord server to do so.
