I had a Discord account created in 2015 that I had always used with their Android app. Then one day I logged in with Firefox and boom, suddenly and permanently banned. I'm not sure what the lesson is here... maybe avoid uBlock and submit to the surveillance?

I've been using discord on actually all platforms and browsers out there with and without ad blockers and it was never an issue. Maybe some server you were in was hit with a blanket ban and the timing just coincided with you using FF?

Maybe you were spared because you also use other browsers.

They really don’t like Firefox though. Had a coworker get bitten by this recently.

Mozilla should sue them. Or start suggesting matrix.org when the user tries to visit Discord.

> avoid uBlock and submit to the surveillance

I think that's what PayPal is trying to teach me, where logins will randomly fail with an adblocker and 2fa enabled.
