Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and more inclusive experience for users over the age of 13.

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.

    I’ve had to dismiss several potentially-useful projects for this reason. In fact nearly every FOSS project I come across has no open platform for discussion.

    Sometimes there is a Discourse forum but those are just awful from a UX perspective, and even then the devs rarely reply to anything there, mostly leaning on GitHub.

      Its maddening, isn’t it? They can write what’s often a full stack web facing application and they can’t spin up and host some pre-rolled forum VM? I have one in my laundry room and I’m the most amateur sysadmin ever.
