This is a interesting company to watch in the Gen AI space since they don't have all the same restrictions as the bigger companies. Crazy this took them so long, and also crazy that they got so far through a very confusing Discord experience.

Yes, unfortunately. That’s a no-go for me.
I feel like this is an old man yells at cloud moment but I refuse to link social media or google accounts with other services. Why should Google's or Discord's policy dictate my participation in the web?

Using discord is a great way to focus on what's important and get not great, but good enough ux and community tools basically for free.
Presuming your bot requires people to interact with it in public channels, your CSRs can then just sit in those channels watching people using the bot, and step in if they’re struggling. It’s a far more impactful way to leverage support staff than sticking a support interface on your website and hoping people will reach out through it.
It’s actually akin to the benefit of a physically-situated product demo experience, e.g. the product tables at an Apple Store.
And, also like an Apple Store, customers can also watch what one-another are doing/attempting, and so can both learn from one another, and act as informal support for one-another.

* You have to save your (hopefully unique!) email/password in a password manager which is effectively contradictory to your "I won't use a cloud service" argument.
* The company needs to build out a whole email/password authentication flow, including forgetting your password, resetting your password, hints, rate limiting, etc etc, all things that Google/Apple have entire dedicated engineering teams tackling; alternatively, there are solid drop-in OAuth libraries for every major language out there.
* Most people do not want to manage passwords and so take the absolute lazy route of reusing their passwords across all kinds of services. This winds up with breached accounts because Joe Smith decided to use his LinkedIn email/password on Midjourney.
* People have multiple email addresses and as a result wind up forgetting which email address/password they used for a given site.
Auth is the number one customer service problem on almost any service out there. When you look at the sheer number of tickets, auth failures and handholding always dominate time spent helping customers, and it isn't close. If Midjourney alienates 1 potential customer out of 100, but the other 99 have an easier sign-in experience and don't have to worry about any of the above, that is an absolute win.

what do you mean they don't have restrictions?
Well good thing we have Flux out in the open now, both midjourney releasing web version or ideogram releasing there 2.0 on the same day after 2 weeks of flux won't redeem them as much. Flux Dev is amazing, check what SD community is doing with it on https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/ . It can do fine tuning, there are Loras now, even control net. It can gen casual photos like no other tool out there, you won't be able to tell they are AI without looking way too deep.
Flux, latest Midjourney, or even dall-e... I'm still disappointed that 3 of my sci-fi prompts never works (interior of an O'Neill Cylinder, Space elevator, rotating space station). I hope someone makes lora of those one day.
What prompts are you using for the space station? I think it pretty much nails it after some prompt tweaking. First attempt: https://cdn.midjourney.com/686f364f-188f-4065-813f-b45d21972... Tweaking to specify spokes around the central axis: https://cdn.midjourney.com/d18d3ad3-3fd0-461e-a3a8-5fc46f0ba...
Haven't used Midjourney since Flux dropped
where can we try/use? Is it just the obvious google result of https://getimg.ai/models/flux ?
