I saw someone in the room earlier with your handle. If you didn’t join the server (as implied), someone is impersonating you.

I've tried to join multiple times over different Tor circuits. Each time I've been stopped by the "Give us your phone number" nonsense, but each time it has shown me the channel name and details, how many people are online, etc. I'm not familiar with Discord, but it seems like I actually join the channel and then am immediately asked to verify? That would perhaps explain my name showing up in the room.

Edit: I got a glimpse of the channel that time before it kicked me out asking for a phone number, so it seems that I've written above is indeed the case. Shame we couldn't use something a bit more privacy respecting like Riot. I also won't be signing up if it requires a phone number or a clearnet connection.

The company behind Discord is unofficially against Tor, and this has been happening to many people. Unfortunately there hasn't been enough public pressure on this matter to resolve it yet.

IIRC, this was due to how easy it is to make an account on Discord, after years of trying to combat spammers and account generators. They just ended up "blacklisting" most VPN providers and TOR nodes to prevent this from happening. If you are connecting from a "secure" network, you can actually make an account by just giving your email address. While any "insecure" connection (basically, any connection that Discord doesn't like) might require a phone number verification.
