    • Teen-by-default settings to roll out globally for all Discord users, enhancing age-appropriate protections while maintaining privacy, community, and meaningful connection on the platform

    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. As part of this update, all new and existing users worldwide will have a teen-appropriate experience by default, with updated communication settings, restricted access to age-gated spaces, and content filtering that preserves the privacy and meaningful connections that define Discord.

    Beginning with a phased global rollout to new and existing users in early March, users may be required to engage in an age-verification process to change certain settings or access sensitive content. This includes age-restricted channels, servers, or commands and select message requests.

    Yeah, same.
    It's about the only megacorp thing I actively use (beside Steam, tho purely for downloading games), but I won't help normalise & support such bs (ofc I never bought Nitro bcs I'm not supporting bs monetisation).

    Sadly prob none of the small communities I chat with every day will migrate to Revolt/Stout, so I'll just lose this part of my life/daily memes.
