Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

    lol

    if you leave a communication platform, and no one can be assed to communicate with you through different channels, then all that means is that you don’t matter enough. maybe never really did. if your school doesn’t provide any other means for communication other than discord, then your school sucks.

    i never told you what to do with your life, only observing how ridiculous it all is. enjoy your age verification/data breach/stolen identities/etc.

      yeah, i am not so important that few thousand people would change their habits to accommodate me. when you outgrow kindergarten, you will find out that neither are you.
