As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I'm curious as to how this will work.

If you have a discord account, they already know who you are. If you tried to get an account anonymously, they'd ban you and demand a phone number.
I never used discord because it was never possible to do so securely. Friends dont let friends use discord.
Use matrix or something better.

Hmmm. So how long before another AI is able to generate a good enough face to fool the age verification AI (or can it already)? Interesting three-legged race there.
AI models have been able to for a long time.

Edit: keep in mind this is many years old now, which is ancient in the AI world.

This was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.
If by linux version you mean completely broken electron web app I suppose youre right
if that happens to me and discord wants me to send selfies to my self,Am going to Matrix and maybe use my discord alt to take to my friends who dont wanna use matrix.

Welp. As soon as this gets put in place I'm out
Oh shit, I gotta finish looking for that bot that will copy my discord channels and their content (pictures, links) to my matrix
Does anybody have any suggestions for alternatives for chats?
I use it a lot for classes (students use them) and video games.

bye bye!
I don’t see reporting on this from any reputable sources. If this were true, every major blog covering tech and gaming would be all over it. All I can find is random YouTube channels and nobody websites discussing it.
I’m not gonna pay it any attention until there’s reliable evidence they’re actually planning on doing this.
