Discord really needs to fix this, it's a major issue and it makes Discord support look bad.
So last week I was outside - gone for hours, I come home and decide to see if somebody is in my server's VC to talk. I open up discord and i see "your account has been disabled"... I go on my email and check if anything's happened and I receive an email from discord saying that my account has engaged in discriminatory content.
I'm a person who likes history and stupid historical/political jokes, so i assume that somebody reported a joke of mine which could've been about Germany or the USSR or something. Then i receive a call from a friend who tells me that he's been banned on discord aswell, we get to thinking and realize that we could've joined a server that might've done something that breaks TOS/Guidelines... Then i remember that we were all invited to a server which was just a text channel and a voice channel at the time. My friend's alt checked if that server was still there - it wasn't. Apparently i've been banned for participating in a server that's done something horrible like discriminating a race or identity and other hate crimes, I myself don't recall even talking or interacting with the server and i've been banned for simply being in it and not doing anything.
I've been on Discord for years, four years to be exact, and never in these four years have i broken the terms of service or community guidelines. I never interacted with any extremists or any people with malicious intentions.
What really baffles me is the fact Discord support lets pedophiles and zoophiles post NSFW in dating servers and groom children and etc, but they'd disable somebody absolutely innocent who hasn't done anything. Another thing is i've been IP banned and i'm writing from my friend's alt account, Discord Trust & Safety hasn't responded in days and it's painful to try find any help.
I feel like discord is simply ignoring me and they aren't even going to tell me that funny phrase in which they tell you they've reviewed the case and they wont reinstate my account.
I beg any moderator or admin to help me with this, or at least help future cases like this because it makes discord seem like a hostile environment for people who've been wrongfully disabled on the platform. I'm aware that this is probably gonna get put under thousands and thousands of more relatable posts but still i'm just trying to find help at this point i'm desperate.
