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.

      My community just setup a Matrix instance and we’re migrating everyone over. Several already cancelled their subscription.

      I actually ran into a colleague in a random room, who is also leaving Discord.

      It’s pretty nuts, there’s a big exodus going on.

      I sure did fucking sucks and they didn’t make it easy. First had to delete all servers first then delete my account. Fuck Discord.
