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.
This sucks. Fully leaving Discord will be hard for me. One server is functioning as a memorial to my Clan leader who died of cancer.
Maybe I need to research a method of archiving or migrating the data I have access to.
Discrub might be an option depending on access. It seems to work fine, but depending on the amount of data it is pretty slow. I’ve had it running since early this morning, about 12 hours now. Not sure I’d trust the extension with highly sensitive data, but it might be worth taking a look.
as soon as possible. you never know what could happen
