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.

I never said you should, I'm literally arguing the opposite and saying that's exactly the problem with discord jfc.

Edit: the problem with discord is not that its real time communication or information is not findable in the app, it IS, its that the information is not available outside that environment.
