I started to ask here: WTH is going on with Discord?

I don't use it. Never really liked it. But I don't always filter it out of my feeds. But yesterday I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out.

Oh, they're going to do age verification.

I  didn't care for it either. Apparently 259 million monthly active users feel otherwise though.

>age verification

The date on my main email domain whois that I use for online accounts is over 21 yrs old.  I should get a free pass to anywhere using age verification.

>Discord >259

I read that they are assuming everybody is underage.
