"the Discord"? Is that how people refer to Discord groups/communities/chatrooms/whatever now? Not "the Discord group" but just "the Discord"? (genuinely asking because this is the first I've seen it)

Yeah. It’s been like that for ages.
Have you never heard “join our discord”?

I’ve heard “join the discord” pretty often too

TIL! It is shorter. Makes sense.

Yeah, but not "the Discord".

Within context, it’s usually clear what is meant, e.g. the singular discord that is associated with a Reddit sub/community.
