He learns lessons on how not to be horrible only to later do something horrible. And again, this doesn’t change the fact that the only reason he keeps learning these lessons is because he was given a chance and plenty of help to do so. And as for the Grogar thing, that was legitimately one of the worst things he ever did. He manipulated the trio in horrible ways and set them up for failure.
Helping his friends by willingly endangering a bunch of ponies and again, doing something genuenly horrible to the already punished trio and then going so far as to sadistically beg for them to get turned to stone. As for the trio, their actions are no worse then those of the previously reformed villains. Even Chrysalis’s threat can be countered by Discord’s Equestria wide reign of terror a thousend years ago, Starlight’s attack on her own villagers and Tempest aiding the conquest of multiple nations. And Chrysalis’s words can easily be countered by Discord mocking the ponies for trying to reform him.
Intention doesn’t matter when Discord looks horrible, the heroes look like hypocrits and the trio got an overly cruel and unfair punishment.

Innocent or not, its still not justifiable, especially if he gets to get away with it while those three don’t even get so much as an offer of a second chance.

he would always learn a lesson at the end of the episode and come back slightly nicer than the last in a later one except for matter of… for ex he was mean and dismissive to big mac and spike and then later they became friends as to which in that episode hes dismissive of love and then later in their last ep together he was happy to hear big Mac getting married. Even tho matter of was a big step backwards he does later ask to be involved instead in Summer Sunsetback. The Finale plenty people saw as ruining his character completely and showing he didn’t learn anything, forgetting that the grogar thing probably wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t actually care about anyone.

He was trying to help his friends be successful leaders, the writers intentions were obviously to portray Discord as someone who was a flawed being who had a misguided if well intended goal who was called out for it and made up for it and later punishes villains who they meant to be seen as irredeemable for things such as trying to tear off spikes wings and chrysalis saying they’ll never change and rightly deserve to be punished.
