Discord is about to require age verification for everyone https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/02/discord-is-about-to-require-age-verification-for-everyone/

@gamingonlinux what are the downsides of being a teenager or younger in discords eyes? They can't collect as much detailed information for profiling? Anything else?

@gamingonlinux It is my hope that if most do not submit age verification that this will cost Discord money. Lots, and lots of money.

@gamingonlinux pffffffffffff

@gamingonlinux welp, it's time for everyone to bitch about this situation and proudly proclaim how they're leaving for a different platform but this time for real, only to then do nothing and keep paying their nitro subscriptions

@gamingonlinux hackers got 70000 goverment IDs from discord and with this they could get even more wtf

@gamingonlinux pfff. Bye bye discord

@gamingonlinux time to go delete that account i don't use...

@gamingonlinux On an unrelated matter, Cyberpunk 2077 and similar games have near photo-realistic character portraits.

@espyeen @gamingonlinux If you want to continue using discord then feel free to do so. I said that X is owned by a fascist and I quit X, I said that Facebook is an AI slop website and I quit Facebook etc. etc. When discord rolls out this garbage, well... I'm leaving discord too

@gamingonlinux Sam Porter Bridges will soon have a lot of Discord accounts
