Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I got dmed by someone I made a project with a few year back asking them to play-test this game their friend made and after I downloaded it they were able to change my login info (cause despite how long I had it and how frequently I used it, I never set up 2FA). Anyway, I'm pretty sure Discord blocked my email address so I had to open a ticket on another email account. Honestly, I hope I can get my account back because as well as it being one of the oldest accounts I have I know Discord is rolling out some "ID Verification" bullshit next month and older accounts are less likely to be affected. Plus that's how I stay in contact with a lot of friends. I befriended this person on Discord who's also ace like I am and I bet they're really confused why I just ghosted them.

Your account is going to be used to send more of the same thing

From my experience discord will never allow the return of accounts through Gmail, and you might not even be able to delete it since you don't have the original email account too

If you get control of the account back, nuke it for good. Discord is cooked.
