So I have some people who want to get me into a discord chat. Is there a simple way to bridge it to matrix? I have my own matrix server but I don't have a discord account. Is it possible to create a bridge without violating privacy?

I don't want to create an account if I don't have to

It's possible and I've done it, but you have to manually bridge each room, and keep the bridges in sync if you ever add/remove channels. There's a github issue for bridging a discord server as a space in matrix that would do that automatically, but there hasn't really been any activity on it:
