Disgusted with Discord
-
a) they are talking to other people, but not always the same age, and most of us are aware of that.
b) why is it crazy that it's "disgusting and foul and the fact that Discord continues to run" ?
c) yes, we are planning to meet up, because this site programme allowed us to meet other people, potential friends.
d) where are you getting this information that discord influences children to commit non-living? a blog?
e) and yes, half of the time we DON'T know who we are talking to, but that's the joy in it, we have met people from all across the world! and you want to take that away from us. and for what? because you want kids to be sheltered from other culters?
think about these things, not all of us have sticks up our butts, pretty much all of us are just trying to have fun with it.
and you aren't forced to use it, so don't! NO-ONE is telling you that you have to use it, so lay off, man.

op what on earth are you on about. sure, messed up stuff happens on discord, but messed up stuff happens literally everywhere on the internet? if you're so mad about people lying about their age on Discord how about you go get mad about people doing the same thing on Twitter or Instagram or Tumblr or anywhere else??
this is how the internet operates. yes you're talking to "strangers" on the other side of the world - if you're that wrung up about it just go walk outside and delete your discord account to stop freaking out about it

It's really funny bcuz I replied to the nitwit b4 you but Discord says my comment is 'pending approval'. I don't have an acct. I'm a mother of a child who does have one and y'all sick mfkrs out there do nothing but prey on kids/teens around the world....grow some damn balls and go outside and get a life....social media is not everything

girl i have a life outside. i also happen to be a victim of the exact stuff you're talking about from years before discord was even a thing. if you're this seriously worried then maybe you should work on having a better honest relationship with your kid because if your kid is talking to people you don't trust and going behind your back to do it then you seriously need to look at how you and your child talk. i say this as someone who was a child that felt like i couldn't trust my parents so if that's anything like what your kid feels then you need to talk to them about it.
or if you have a direct log of someone speaking inappropriately to your child then go to discord support and inform them. https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I appreciate your insight....yes we do have an open and honest relationship or so I thought...this one person has wrapped my child up in pretense and false hopes. Ya we're not perfect or maybe even normal but I always try to have open communication btwn us. There's an age difference btwn the 2 and hey normally I wouldn't care....but he's of legal age....my child still has severalo

Several more yrs to go. I understand that this is the new way of things.....tiktok snapchat IMVU....ok I get it....but there is NOBODY regulating any of the chats. I work in the medical field and trust me, you don't want to hear the horror stories of the victims that come n2 the hospital...and all bcuz of some mfkr they met on an app on the internet. So yes I am very biased about it. If you wanna see 1st hand what might happen then by all means hmu and I'll bring as an outsider to witness what could and most likely will happen

yes, i completely understand what you mean. i went through those exact sites and games as a kid 10 years ago and i suffered from it. like i said - if you have any message logs of inappropriate exchanges, you should absolutely inform the discord staff about it. they cannot, and do not, personally moderate every account and server. if you want them to do something, you need to go to them and inform them directly either with the link i posted, or message them on Twitter.
thank you for dialing it back a bit, and i'm sorry for being abrasive. i am an adult that went through these same things when i was a kid, and it's kind of an affront to be accused of the things i try to actively prevent. you should set a precedent for how adults should behave with and towards kids, to your own child, so that they can recognize warning signs. i understand why you're angry and agitated, but there is bound to be interaction between kids and adults on the internet - you just need to step up and teach your child what they should and should not tolerate from adults. don't punish them for the people that approach them, educate them about the behaviors of dangerous people.
