Trolls likely have access to phone number farms though. And in some parts of the world it's extra cheap to mass-register phone numbers. Trolls wouldn't be harmed in a data leak, only normal users get hurt.

Most trolls aren't the kind of trolls that run large scale networks, they're the 12 year olds you triggered by saying BLM

Once a phone is banned though, it's unusable again at least in a given server. Discord will treat it like an IP ban (which they also do).
