with the amount of automated systems out there port-scanning IP ranges for vulnerabilities, being on discord with one (a vulnerability), even if discord exposed IPs, is not much more dangerous than just sitting around twiddling your thumbs waiting for a bot to hit your IP.

The risk of personal identification due to IP I can buy into; the risk that your already public IP may be exposed to a do-bad-criminal who wants to exploit you via Discord.. feels no more dangerous than having a vulnerable computer connected, anyway.

Don't underestimate the skill and ingenuity of pissed off 15 year olds.

With near unlimited time on their hands, and an information rich internet, they can find how to start pentesting.

Blind devotion to a cause and a flexible mind can overcome many problems.
