Doesn’t seem like a big deal - unshare it and copy to another platform, e.g. directly on discord, for sharing.

Google really needs to stop preemptively locking accounts, though. They also need to warn ahead of time when someone is going to do something “bad”.

Ahh you think Discord has better policies?

You might want to rethink that.

Ironically, I think the users are partly to blame for that. They were definitely complaining about some of the stuff that was on discord and discord then stepped up their enforcement of everything.

I mean. For a time, I couldn’t use discord for game parties cause 99% of the time, it was just man-children yelling n-bombs.

I can very much see why people might’ve wanted some clean up.

But that's just a question of which kind of discord servers you're in. That stuff is still going to happen, you just won't be invited to those servers.

I never encountered that in discord and I've been using it daily since early 2016.

It was less the users, and more hitpieces from censor-happy journalists.

Kind of forces your hand when journalists are digging up relatively obscure discord "servers" with edgy jokes and racism, or trying to get 'activist' discords they disagree with banned, or finding leaked military documents and framing them all as Discord's fault.

Warning is not possible, have you seen the amount of spam the web has?

What’s possible though is a better handling of these scenarios. Don’t lock me out of my entire account, but stop the specific service/action breaking the ToS.
