To be fair, I could say the same, but is probably a biased sample.
I have other red flags, like only distributing on docker, that I've tried, and tried again, and found that it's a sign of a badly run project. But I can't state any confidence on the discord based rule, because I've never tried to make any run.
The docker thing really grinds my gears. I see it as the ultimate "works on my machine" mentality. Basically they can't be arsed to write software that is robust to changes in hosting platform.
I have dealt with "only works in kubernetes" because developers couldn't be bothered to make it even work on docker without all the hidden orchestration.
So, instead of documentation, they just make the service work in that one specific environment.
