Ah please, it's just a specifically egregiously example that I'm guessing most fediverse users would know about. The problem is hardly limited to discord, you can find similar activity on Instagram for example.

Parents

Yes, but also the kids who are being groomed are more often than not already in a vulnerable situation. Given that you are indeed familiar with the discord situation I don't need to explain this any further I hope.

Awareness

I'm not sure I'm following, awareness by who? Kids who want attention? Groomers looking for kids to manipulate? The absent parents?

Moderation

Might help, but how do you enforce a moderator? Just look at R*ddit where spez himself moderated a jailbait sub.

Greed

Now this here I'll agree would help, but it still doesn't prevent those who are actively grooming from getting what they want.

    I mean spreading awareness about the topic, sorry but i was writing it while sleepy and used a translator to find the word i needed, sadly the translator got it wrong

    moderation

    It can be easly improved, right now discord staff do little to nothing (at least in my exp) when you report someone, it was rare the case where i have seen profiles disappear :/

    It would help by a lot, a good chunk of the grooming is done in servers that aren't touched because they got 30+ boosts and discord sees it and say "ya get me money, ya safe!" Usually those are also discord server based off roblox communities, what a combination...
