The site also has an active Discord community of around 35k members, who actively participate in discussions, art competitions, even a chess tournament.

lulz, but this is probably a big reason why this happened, discord servers pay our pretty well and profiting with this stuff probably got some legal teams a little pissy

How does a discord make money?

Or is it one you need to pay to access?

You can enable monetization on your server once you hit certain requirements. It will let users pay to become a member/subscriber, kinda similar to subscribing/joining on Twitch/YouTube. Basically just gives you a special role in the server, maybe access to hidden channels, etc, depending on how the server owner has it configured.
