  I discordially invited my account to go and delete itself.

  I guess I need to talk about my 401k at least once before March or something.

  Who wants to guess if it unfairly targets minorities and LGBTQ+ users?

  “Platform will use AI-powered age prediction based on existing user data instead of universal biometric verification”

  So is this supposed to make us feel better?

    That is even creepier and more stupid. This is why I am deleting my shit and going to move onto a different platform.

  Not enough for me, I deleted my Discord account yesterday and what they are saying isn’t enough to get me to cancel the deletion. I already hate using Discord enough as is, I don’t want this Nazi bullshit to ruin it even more.
