Yeah, they’re doing the right thing here as a PR move, they may have known about the shady bullshit or they might not have but if they didn’t I bet they didn’t even ask or care in any way.

Still time to find discord alternatives, luckily the landscape of alternatives seems a bit better than I expected.
