Discord #amirite ?!

https://discord.com/press-releases/discord-launches-teen-by-default-settings-globally

Beginning with a phased global rollout to new and existing users in early March, users may be required to engage in an age-verification process to change certain settings or access sensitive content. This includes age-restricted channels, servers, or commands and select message requests.

“Nowhere is our safety work more important than when it comes to teen users, which is why we are announcing these updates in time for Safer Internet Day. Rolling out teen-by-default settings globally builds on Discord’s existing safety architecture, giving teens strong protections while allowing verified adults flexibility.

Looks like if you have an account on any Discord server, you’re going to need to verify your identity regardless whether or not your server has unsafe content, nor whether or not it’s intended for an adult audience. There is no exception, EVERYONE has to do it.

So the clock is running out before the verification is required. I for one will not verify. But will drop Discord like a a bag of dirt if I have to verify before I can login again. Wouldn’t be the first time for me to drop a social media platform (pats self on back getting kicked off FB and X/Twitter).
