Like for example, clicking a link they send that takes you away from discord and opens your browser. The only way for someone on discord to get your IP address would be for them to trick you into giving it to them. At no point do you ever connect directly to another user on discord.

It runs directly through their own servers, it is not a peer to peer connection between members. The reason is that discord users do not ever interact with each other directly. The server bot you've seen that posts peoples "IP address" when they leave, is bogus. Now, if you click a malicious link, download suspicious etc etc, then you could have your IP recorded. Contrary you what you've been told by NarBluebear, there is no method to obtain someones IP through discord itself.

You cannot get someones IP through discord, period.
