Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and more inclusive experience for users over the age of 13.
One problem will be that there are way too goddamn many software projects that use Discord as a shitty replacement for a blog and documentation, and they’re gonna be a pain to move to proper content platforms.
Sometimes the only way thru is shitty. And those revs might have to learn the hard way not to overcentralize- or use a damn chat software for what is way more suited to forums.

I’m in like a hundred of those. Honestly, they’re not that useful. Burn it all down and start over.

I’ve been complaining about this for years. Hope we’re finally starting to see the end of it.
“Look, Discord requires me to upload a pic of my face or ID, which i can’t legally agree to. Provide another channel or bye.”
That’ll work for individual users, but getting all that chat history out will be a problem for the owners once the users dry up.
And I’m sure Discord will do their best to make it impossible.
Serves them right for picking chat software in the first place, let alone one they don’t control.
