You will quickly get flagged/banned and/or asked for a phone number/email address for verification. I've lost 2 accounts to this.

I refuse Discord after eventually having every account get blocked pending phone-number verification. In my country that's effectively KYC (impossible to get a SIM card without govt ID).

Depending on IP and usage, this may happen at any point between registration and several years later.
