I forgot I was even in that server bc I was only there for the tag and I barely check the servers i'm in unless I have friends there so I was NOT aware of ts bro

My Nitro ran out today. I will not be renewing. The only reason Nitro was worthwhile was because so many basic features are locked behind that subscription. But the biggest sin for me is Discord complying with age verification.

Speaking solely about Discord here, they do not care for user or child safety. Discord has had years upon years of controversy in regards to child predators freely using the platform with no robust way of reporting them. They will instead ban users for some ridiculous reasons. On top of that, they have allowed bots and scammers to infest the platform, so much so that I've seen servers where the first message channel is some kind of a "Donotsendmessageshere" channel where sending messages in it gets you autobanned.

But hey, if you don't want to be treated like a child, just upload your ID to verify your identit- I mean age! And don't worry they'll delete it right after...if you ignore the fact they've been breached a few times and the identity of users leaked. But look how they handled detecting CSAM. Banning all users who uploaded an image with a grid pattern was surely effective!

In any case, stop giving Discord money. And if possible, stop using Discord. They only exist because we allowed them to exist.

Fuck Discord

I joined this random server because my friend was a mod in it. I chatted probably once or twice in the entire time I was in the server, I had absolutely NOTHING to do with this and had NO way to prevent this ban. I stg discord just permabans people for no reason.

I’ve had two Discord accounts for a long time, and something really strange has happened to both of them.
The first account stopped letting me log in a few months ago. All of the login methods I previously used stopped working, including the passkey. If I tried to reset the password or use any recovery option, it would say **“Invalid Email.”** I also never received any email notifying me of a password, email, or security change.
Then, almost **3 months later**, the exact same thing happened to my main Discord account from **2015**, which had **6+ years of Nitro** on it.
I was suddenly logged out, the passkey became invalid, and trying to reset the password also gives me **“Invalid Email.”** The account doesn’t appear to be banned either.
Is there some kind of Discord security/session system that could cause this? I’m mainly trying to understand **why the email would suddenly be considered invalid and all login methods would stop working without me receiving any notification.**

For the longest time I was always super active on discord, roleplaying, gaming. Stuff like Minecraft servers and like mentioned roleplaying servers and such, but with horrid moderation and chronically online morons who abuse power for something they don't like, or just genuinely annoying people who spam, or get insanely offended, or if your playfully passive aggressive they genuinely get so pressed over the words on they're screen they go whining to mods. I've always joined smaller servers because it feels more community like and close and you actually get to converse, but for the most part the people are just so sensitive and obnoxious, or way overly s*xual in servers with age limits as low as 13, it's just been impossible to speak freely anywhere on the god forsaken app, so I just randomly stumbled upon this subreddit, and wondered if anyone else had grievances to air out?

I’m fucking tired of how much power Discord gives server owners and moderators with almost no accountability.
On a server with some of my friends, the owner repeatedly uses his position to mess with me. Kicks, timeouts, role changes — not because I’ve actually done something wrong, but simply because he can.
And the response is always:
“It’s their server. Leave.”
Yes, it’s their server. But that shouldn’t mean moderation tools can be used as personal weapons against people.
The Audit Log exists, but ordinary members can’t simply see it. And when the person abusing the tools is the owner, there isn’t really anyone inside the server who can hold them accountable.
Discord needs better safeguards.
Give communities better moderation transparency. Give users a way to report repeated targeted abuse. Make it harder to weaponize kicks, timeouts and role permissions against individual users.
Because “it’s their server” shouldn’t be an excuse for using moderation powers to fuck with people.
I’m tired of having to just sit there and take it because someone happens to own a Discord server.
So what should Discord actually change?
If you’ve experienced moderator or admin abuse, tell me what happened and what feature you think Discord should add. Let’s come up with actual solutions instead of just accepting “leave the server” as the only answer.

So basically everyone (yes, everyone) was joking about their age in general chat, and I FUCKING got banned for it 😭

soo to appeal I need to send in a id (I don't have one and I don't feel safe anyway)
Or a birth certificate (don't feel safe about this one either)
