It is absurd to refer to this person as “Discord admin”.

It’s like saying “email-address owner gets 15 years for…”.

I guess it's because his Discord server was where he leaked them? I feel like someone who doesn't use Discord could read this headline and assume he worked for the company, though.

Especially when sites like Reddit/StackExchange use admin to mean employee and moderator to mean volunteer community leader.

I mean, I use Discord pretty much every day, and that's what I assumed.

Yeah it’s pretty misleading
