Guys, calm down, it doesn't use YOUR face at all. Just a photo. Easy to bypass, and think of the fun we can have.

huh...sounds like an invasion of privacy.
good thing I never used discord because of the toxicity and pedophiles.
nothing gained, nothing lost.
Discord has always been an invasion of privacy. They require a phone number for ages

I do not have a camera....so get fucked I guess. Ok discord..bye, you are easily replaced as a voice chat for videogames with friends.
You only need to verify your age if there is evidence on discord that you are too young to use the platform

They do technically still offer a "manual review", which is what they do now, where you have to take a photo using any kind of camera with your photo ID and email it... which isn't really better, and can be very, very slow in actually regaining access to an account.

This is what it takes for you to finally leave discord? I would guess most people that have managed to stick around discord this long won't even mind this.
This is significantly worse than anything they've done
I don't use the platform, why is Discord so terrible?
Oh, the service itself is decent, up to great depending on your criteria. Pretty much never down, works well enough, etc.
It's the privacy and bullshit behind the service that's hated. Well, usually, some people hate the layout, and others hate the fact that it's the default for so many people that it's difficult to avoid.
