Direct messages and servers that are not age-restricted will continue to function normally
So in other words, if you only use Discord as a messaging app and for small servers between friends, this won’t affect you?
I honestly have no idea why Discord started trying to push itself as some normal social media like Facebook, and why people started treating it as such. Discord was a glorified telephone line with gifs and web links. I don’t need some manufactured sense of “community” among thousands of people who happen to watch the same YouTuber as me.

Discord is a vocal opponent of the laws requiring this stuff and helps the legal fights trying to stop this from becoming mandatory by law. My impression is they are doing what they think they legally have to in a growing number of countries and states.

" Discord is a member of Netchoice, the trade organization that’s fighting these laws in the US, and they’ve shown up for pretty much every lawsuit since they joined. I can’t say for certain[1] but I HIGHLY doubt they are doing this because they want to. "
