alt Hacker NewsWouldn't any platform have the same problem though? A forum would partition the community between those willing to make an account and submit private information and those who aren't.

Not quite. Discord is a lot more invasive with their info collection than, let's say Github or Matrix servers. Second, the info posted to Github is accessible without account, which is not true of Discord.
