Are they gonna make everyone do it or are they just going to restrict your access to adult channels or something. If so, I won't care, I'm not on any sensitive anything on Discord. If it's everybody, well then, my Discord career is over, not that I really care anyway. Nobody's getting ID verification from me, certainly not a fucking shitty chat app.

Quote from the article:

the Discord team noted that all accounts will end up as teens by default, with various restrictions in place, unless you go through manual age verification processes.

I guess you are just restricted from viewing adult content it seems.
