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. 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.
Seems like most features will still be available without going through the "verification" but a lot of people will probably do it anyway. Then when you have one too many beers and say the gamer word they'll have a photo ID to leak in the next data breach to go with it.
Did anyone notice the article says Discord will be profiling you based on what hours you use the app, what games you play and your "activity" on the app?
If this is reliable enough for age estimation (risking fines from the UK if it's not) what else will they be using it for? Tracking every time you tell a friend something about yourself, like your hair color, sexual preferences and political views? I'm sure the pedo furries running Discord would love to abuse that kind of info.
Don’t worry, they’ve said that data obtained from these verifications totally won’t be breached again.
Hey now, they've had a whole 4 months to work on that never happening again! I'm sure they have top men working on it.
"Would you like frys with that, saar?"
Apparently that happened because some jeet couldn't help but do the needful for £500.

Fuck this cucked app. Most of my friends that I'm in touch with are on it. Guess I'll tell'em I'm gonna be contactable only by phone or email now
It's not cucked, it was malicious from the outset.
You're right. Fuck discord, piece of shit app

My friends and I use a private self hosted Nextcloud server to yell inappropriate things about each other's Mothers while gaming.
This is the way

Worth noting that the backlash to this spans both sides of the political divide from what I've seen in the wild.
The right dont want to be traceable for memes and for the sanctity of being able to speak.
The left dont want to be traceable for their actual crimes and degency
might as well go with IRC.
Reminder that Discord is hopelessly progressive and any "leaks" of illegal content will never be of child groomers or pantifa types.
Isn't their ceo jewish?
The breaches from the vibe coded Discord replacements are going to be even funnier.
