is this real?
this is a message from the discord creator and I’m going to tell you a little bit about what will happen on discord on July 23rd. Please do not send this back to the person you received it from. Dear discord members, discord is supposed to close Nov 7, 2020 because it has become too populated. There have been many members complaining that discord has become very slow. There are many active members of discord, but also many new members. We will send this message to see if the members are active or not. If you are active, please copy and paste this to 15 other users to show that you are still active. Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks will be deleted without hesitation to make more space. Send this message to all your friends to show that you are still active and that you will not be deleted. is it fake or real

This is definitely a fake message. If something like this did happen, then you would be contacted via a more official source, not a random DM.
In future, please don't post this kind of question here, as it does not relate to Discord Feedback. Instead, ask support over dis.gd/support.

Following what Saluki said, things that tell you to share it in other servers are often fake. Messages that warn against a harmful user or saying that a specific service is set to close are also usually just made up.

check this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/6kdtx3/is_this_message_real/
anyways, i'd think the discord team would tell us in a more official and reliable way, like with the news (the What's New? section that pops up once you log in), i'm pretty sure this just started as a joke and became a copypasta out of the blue.
you wouldn't just get a random dm stating "oh, discord will close nov 7 2020" just because.
don't trust this.

My friend sent me this

Send this message to all your friends to show that you are still active and that you will not be deleted, I did believe this prank, but then I posted this to one of my friend and he said it's fake ofc so I deleted the message and he explained a lot to me he, so I told my friend who gave me this was dumb. But then he said: Well Alpha gave this to me. And Wow to my surprise My friend Alpha is dumb.-2 -
I believe that we should not worry about this because thats why we have this thing called "verified accounts". Or maybe im just a complete dumby....

@ClarkyP this wouldn't be possible there is no way you could test each and every discord member to be trustworthy plus you'd have to remove and add members all the time you aren't dumb good idea but not possible

This is obviously fake,I'm writing what one of my friends on discord said. It's fake if discord was becoming overpopulated then they would be getting more money so they wouldn't shut down for no reason and they can't just kick people through text messages
8 -
Oof I sent this to a lot of my friends😳🙄
-18 -
Nah my guy this is fake af
First of all they have so much active players and more coming in as it saiz
Second there is no reason for them to close it. The only reason would been they out of money or someone bought them
Third "Sent this message to your friend" yeah i heard that in the most of the scams
9 -
My friend sent me that. I don't think it's real, because yeah, discord would probably tell us from a more secure source.
6 -
there is even more flaws in that dm, why would discord say that we can only show we are active by sharing that "announcement", seriously, only saying one letter can show that we are on because we still said something

This is what a lot of people has been saying in discord:

I got the exact same message through a discord server

I hope it isn't real, i got the exact same msg, i really love discord. (probably grammar mistakes xd)
2 -
to those who fell for the fake announcement i am extremely sorry that you all fell for it. Discord would give out a announcement on their Twitter page not in the DM's. so those who fell for the fake announcement please keep a close eye on those messages
edit on Monday, May 18, 2020: jeez that is still going on?

Got the same message, and tbh I;m a little freaked out

Ay, I just got this message and it's fake.

Yeah, this is entirely fake. It doesn't make economic sense to close it down because it's being overpopulated, as Discord would be receiving more money from nitro users and other sources, so Discord could very easily afford to hold many, many more users.
On top of that, this is the exact same as those chain PMs you see on facebook where someone sends you something random/stupid/alarming and says to tend it to everyone on your friends list. It's always fake, and this is a stupid way to see who is active. We verify our accounts for a reason. It would be more effective to terminate unverified accounts after a certain period from account creation.
This is a fake, and a poor one at that
