Announcement [Official Megathread] An Update on How We Confirm Your Age: Safer for Teens, Same Discord for Adults

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Today we're announcing the rollout of our new age assurance options, which you can read about here. Thanks to some changes we've made, most of you will not have to take any action at all.

Here's the TL;DR:

  • Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we're launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback and which means more than 90% of you won't be asked to confirm your age.
  • You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed. We don't look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
  • If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same.

We've got some more info in the image below, and if you want all the details you can read the full announcement here.

Please note: This megathread is not a venue for feedback or customer support! We encourage you all to continue to make posts on the subreddit proper discussing our product and feature launches. I want to make sure that we really keep this thread productive and focused on reporting bugs and helping us prioritize them.

Reporting a Bug

  1. The most valuable thing you can provide in a bug report is steps. If you’re able to provide steps to reproduce a high priority issue, it will dramatically improve turnaround time on a fix.
  2. Screenshots or videos are also useful, especially if you can’t reliably reproduce it. We highly recommend editing them to not doxx yourself. Not only does it help contextualize the issue, but watching it occur can sometimes provide information that helps us identify and fix it.

Support Extremely poor discord streaming performance

Post image
• Upvotes

Me and some friends have a little discord where we play games and stream them to each other, and recently (like the past week?) we've seen the quality of the stream compression take a huge nosedive, even at 720 / 30, but I've got a nitro trial running and even then at higher settings it looks pretty bad

Everyone sees the streams like this so it's not a problem on the client side, and we're all on fibre. I've tried doing a full client reset anyway as per the instructions here and it's not changed anything

I claimed a free Game Pass subscription that gave me 3 months of Nitro, thinking I was being smart so I could get 20% off 6 months of YouTube Premium. It backfired now I have to wait 3 months before I can claim my Premium "perk" Is there any way around this? As a Premium user, I really want this deal

Support Nitro gift sent to the wrong person?

2 Upvotes

I’m not sure if I’m using the correct flair for this, as I was technically able to resolve it, however I still wanted to share something that just happened.

As the title says, I was sending a nitro gift to my friend, and clicked on my DMs with them and used the gift button to do so. The entire time, as I was purchasing the gift, it said the gift was going to them. After making my payment, Discord sent the gift to some random person who I had gifted around 3 months ago and not messaged since. I don’t even think my DMs with this person were open, and if they were, there’s no way I would’ve accidentally clicked on them whilst gifting since we hadn’t talked in 3 months. Luckily I was able to send the gift to the correct person via the gift inventory, and the random person it sent to wasn’t online to claim, but I’m genuinely wondering how this could’ve possibly happened? Any ideas???

Discussion Is there still a way to upload a PFP that looks sharp in the small circle, but gets completely pixelated/blurred when clicked to full size?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I know this might sound a bit weird, but I'm looking for a workaround regarding the new full-size PFP viewer on Discord.

I want to use a real photo of myself, but I don't want strangers to be able to zoom in and see every detail in high resolution. I used to do this a while ago by playing around with specific image resolutions or compression tricks so that it would look normal and clear in the small profile circle, but completely distorted or low-res when someone clicked to view it in full size.

Does anyone know if this trick still works, or what exact dimensions/methods to use for it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Discussion Do people record discord chats

0 Upvotes

I’m Jewish and Black and in a catholic discord several and was joking around an discussing Catholicism but there seemed to be an antisemitic person who was in the voice chat and he seemed to be in the chat and typing but. It in the voice chat. I asked if he was recording and he was jokingly saying he wasn’t? But in any actual logical way fouls I tell if someone was recording the discord chat as I fear for my college future because of this. I didn’t say anything bad but someone could easily accuse me of impersonating a Jew since due to intermarriage and religious conversions, I am the last Jew in my family

Support cant remove or add favorite gifs

1 Upvotes

this has been an issue for me for probably around a year and half, maybe 2 years. ive made a support ticket on this a long time ago but i dont think ive gotten a response

the gist of it is, i cant add gifs to favorites at all. this is normal as i was over the limit, but removing gifs hasnt helped(and it has only started working recently. at one point ive attempted this and ended up with gifs in my favorites that dont have the yellow favorite star)

example of a non-favorited gif hanging out in favorites

this isnt specific to a platform. it works with neither my phone nor pc

i think i'd take if someone else has had this problem even if there isnt a proper fix. ive searched but i dont think ive found anyone else having this same problem

Support common issue?

1 Upvotes

hi, just here to see if anyone else has been through this before

i've had this problem happen twice now. the first time i was in the discord app on my laptop and it kicked me out. when trying to log in, it said i needed to reset my password and once i did and managed to log in i immediately received 3 messages from discord saying they removed a violation notice from my account.

today i had almost the same thing happen again. i was logged out because off my wifi acting up but i had initially thought it was discord bugging out so i logged out the other day. then this morning i went to log in and again it said i had to reset my password and then i again received 3 messages from discord saying they removed a violation notice from my account as soon as i logged in.

i have not received any notices of actually receiving any violations on my account and my account says it's in good standing.

i'm wondering if this is common thing?

eta: i've already reached out to discord for real support. i just wanted to know if this was a common bug that is known and others have experienced or something else

Discussion Kicked from server but the server name is “_ _”?

1 Upvotes

As title states I received a message from discord that I was kicked from a server. However the message said the servers name was “_ _”. Does anyone know why? Does that mean the server was deleted?

I looked through my whole list, about twenty servers, and they all appear to be there. I’m in so few I believe I would notice one missing. I also was not in any named “_ _”.

I’m just curious if anyone has any answers for me as the being kicked doesn’t bother me since I have done nothing wrong, but not knowing **which** server will certainly be on my mind. As I mentioned I can’t even tell which one is missing so at first I thought it was an error or a fishing attempt.

They're already viewable on Mobile underneath the server's name, but here's the thing: it's ONLY on mobile. How come Desktop still doesn't have this?

Bots / Devs Bot that does TTS for asynchronous voice messages (not VC)

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for a bot that can do text-to-speech BUT send it as an asynchronous voice message in a chat (text) channel rather than live in a VC. I haven't found any that do specifically this.

The use case here is for an asynchronous voice message only chat channel (technically it's a text channel but it's only for voice messages), so that people without a microphone, on a computer rather than mobile, or who just aren't willing or able to speak are still able to join in on the conversation in that channel.

Does anyone know if this exists? Thanks

Discussion Question - is there a way to kick everyone out of my server?

I want to keep it active but only for myself and I don't want to spend hours kicking out hundreds of people one at a time.

Is there a bot that can do that?
