Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive.

Guess I should say goodbye to everyone in the one Discord channel I actually use cuz I ain't giving the company my ID or face scan. Fuck that noise.

Yeah we've made all channels that were marked as 18+ unmarked already, we'll see what happens. If worst comes to worst we'll just host something ourselves. We're not doing anything weird and there's nobody underage on our little corner anyway.
