Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default "teen-appropriate" experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

It's never easy but believe me it's rewarding. Planning to switching to a self-hosted solution even more so (though it's harder). However, starting it is the halfway through. I just wish your community members as understanding as you.

Good luck!
