    I’m never doing this. I’ll pay someone else to verify my account before I upload my dox with these assholes.

    I’m fine switching to an alternative, but I have seen no gaming companies linking anything else for their official “forums”

    I hope for once people would get together and drop Discord so that Discord would have to reverse this policy. So often, we the customers really have the power if we get together and act together. All these social networks are nothing without the contributions of the customers.

    Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive.

    Shrug

    I’m not using discord for porn, so I’m not going to lose sleep. Will simply live with a “teen” account until my groups migrate to a better service.

    But you’ll get my biometrics from my cold dead hands.

    They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.

    GOOD

    Crazy they didn’t implement this years ago. Discord is bloated with fake user spam.

      So I get a free spam filter for not verifying? Guess I’m never verifying then, lol.

    I don’t trust discord with what little I formation I’ve gave them so far. Definitely not giving them my ID or a scan of my face.

    However, some users may not have to go through either form of age verification. Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord.>

    Yeah, you go ahead & do that, & watch how many people will jump ship to other alternatives while you lose a lot of money & subscriptions, especially when you’ve been hacked before.

    People have found other alternatives to TikTok, & they’ll do the same with Discord.
