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.

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.

    Seriously, like, actually seriously, I want to believe that this time everyone will leave Discord, and not just a small group of weirdos like us who “care about privacy” and ended up on Lemmy.

      The reality is, is that we’re going to be the only ones who care.

      Everyone didn’t go from GMail to Proton or others. Everyone didn’t go from Reddit to Lemmy. Everyone didn’t go from Telegram to Signal. Everyone didn’t go from Twitter to Mastodon (Bluesky I guess works?)

      This is going to be no different.

      From my experience, the average joe will just do whatever is asked of them to continue using a service.
