So it looks like that Discord is going to roll out a Age Verification feature for everyone starting next month. Last year this change rolled out to users who live in the UK. With this news hopefully we can start to see people using forums again! I know there's forums that were shut down and moved over to Discord. Bet they wish they never did that. https://discord.com/press-releases/discord-launches-teen-by-default-settings-globally
I use Discord just as a communication app, if they force me to verify my age, I might stop using it. In the past, I have used it as a support for my forum. I think those who abandoned forums for discord might be regretting their decision.
