Discord says it has not yet been formally served with Take-Two’s subpoena seeking information related to the CyberLeek GTA 6 leaks. The company says it will evaluate the subpoena’s validity and scope before responding.

Am I the only one who found building the bot easier than getting users? I spent months developing my Discord bot, and now finding testers feels way harder than writing the code.

How did you get your first 10–50 testers?

Bought some Discord decoration a while back. Got an error saying something went wrong during checkout, but the payment still went through. Never got the item though. Contacted support almost a week ago, radio silence since then. Anyone else dealt with this? Wondering if it’s a known issue or if I just need to wait longer (Paid with Paypal)

Discord has quietly begun testing Incode as a new age verification provider, replacing its previous vendor for some users. The company says face scans are processed on-device where possible, IDs and selfies are deleted after age confirmation, and Discord only receives an age result, not your identity. But the move still raises important privacy questions around biometric verification, third-party trust, and the growing trend of mandatory age checks online, especially after the massive Persona breach linked to Discord user data back in 2025

That has always been my question. My next question is : can we do without installing any app ??

I’ve kinda been using Discord a lot and lately it just feels a bit much for me.

Like there’s always something going on, servers are super busy, roles everywhere, notifications nonstop, and it feels like you’re kinda expected to always be active or replying. It’s not really bad, just kinda overwhelming sometimes.

I’m 16 and I started messing around with this idea called Hideout. It’s nothing big yet, just something I’m building and seeing where it goes.

It’s kinda like a mix between Discord and Reddit. You still have rooms and chatting like Discord, but it’s more chill like Reddit where it’s not all about being online all the time or keeping up with everything.

I’ve been trying to keep it really simple. Less pressure around identity and presence, and just easier conversations without all the extra stuff.

Not saying Discord is bad or anything, it just feels like there could be something a bit lighter.

Curious if anyone else feels like that or if it’s just me overthinking it.

The Hideout

I remember that a phone number wasn't needed, only if you entered certain communities that required a confirmed phone number.

The old toggle at User Settings > Privacy & Safety > In-game rewards is gone.

Edit: I figured it out finally. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app.

What the actual fuck is this shit and how do I turn it off? I don't want to see status' ever

Discord's recent announcement of mandatory age verification for all users has sent the community scrambling for alternatives. Search volume for "Discord alternatives" spiked 10,000% overnight, with Matrix seeing a 2,133% increase and the relatively unknown Stoat (formerly Revolt) jumping 9,900%. As someone who's been self-hosting Matrix for a while now and recently dove deep into evaluating alternatives, I figured it's time to document what I've learned.

This isn't going to be a gentle guide for people who just want something that "works like Discord." If that's you, honestly, stick with Discord and deal with their ID requirements. This post is for people who actually want to understand the technical tradeoffs, the real architectural differences, and the honest-to-god pain points of each platform. No hand-holding, no sugar-coating.

Welcoming Discord users amidst the challenge of Age Verification

Hey @discordapp
I know you didn't intend that one survey link to get responses from the entire internet about #AI but really you SHOULD have asked that of the whole userbase not just a few people
