Information on Discord visible only if you sign up for it (and afaik, in some countries, upload identification)... that does seem rather in line with the deep web architecture that AnkiHub uses. Maybe this would be good in a ticket or the Anki forums, since it's relevant to the people using and contributing to the app. Here on HN it's now also findable in web searches as a side effect of copying it I guess
This is the Discord server which AnkiDroid has used for dev for just under 6 years. Nothing AnkiHub related.
It needn't be related to the corp for it to be a match made in heaven
