The Down Bad Side of Discord

Discord has a growing problem because people cant think with their heads.

A bunch of Discord servers have been popping up on tiktok. Where people are saying that "x server is better" or "y best server". But what's inside of these Discord servers? Better yet, why do people even make and advertise these servers?

Well from failed Discord safety measures up to full blown piracy, Discord has to put their foot down and deal with the down bad side of Discord.

Had a couple of comments about the usu.edu source in the google search.
It's definitely a very biased website, they cite sources from a religious group (conflict of interest lol)

Regardless, read a couple more studies and it's a controversial topic. Basically, DSM-5 doesn't classify it as an addiction. ICD-11 labels it as an impulsive control disorder.

This is a massive rabbit hole and I would highly recommend you reading into it if you are curious about this topic :)

discord wont delete these kind of servers, but bans people who joke about being underage. best moderation fr

[liftoff]

discord is literally the depths of humanity

[ShotgunLover]

The worst part is that there is gonna be people who watch this video and want to join those severs

I love discord as a personal messaging app for smaller friendgroups but goddamn it has huge problems on the larger public scale

[chaotictoazt]

I love how you can hear him slowly going insane from seeing all the "content" these servers have. 😭😭

"how to unbirth my 16 year old daughter" is such a relatable search when I'm in the school bathroom stalls

[Thy_Quinton]

Kudos to you for going through the painful process of blurring images and exposing discord. Everybody give this man a round of applause.

[spazzayone]

God this is horrifying... Bravo for addressing such a touchy subject and shining a light on more than one issue here.

The Roblox Condo Discord servers are also not very different. Rather they have a "For discord staff" channel too where they put their fake message up to the Discord staff.
If Discord ever gets responsible with the reports, they could literally be helping thousands of minors by banning these servers and subsequently destroying the condo chains.

i can literally have my account be deleted for "being underage" when i joked about being 8 years old, got reported, get my account disabled, ID DO THE RIGHT THING TO APPEAL THE BAN, give them my ID, a selfie, and my discord username ALL in the same photo, and they still. STILL. wont unban me. discord seriously does not. care.

[Twanjansen-ix]

your eyes dude... i feel the pain you had to go through to just expose this

The pornography has already breached our defenses.

It's absolutely insane how predatory these servers are, all for the sake of money and their own personal gain. It's disgusting. Thank you for shedding light on this issue so that at least those who fell for this scam realize that they need to get out soon, or for those who have family, friends, lovers who fell for this scam and just wants to help them escape this horrible situation. Even if Discord doesn't do anything about this, at least we got people like you to help others.

"it's like a circus and their favorite magic trick is doing absolutely nothing" i love the way this is phrased and how it can apply to almost anything, not just discord

[TheRoughGentleman]

I subbed because I did not want to go down the rabbit hole all day thanks for doing all “the dirty work” literally

[royconestoga]

Back in my day, you were exposed to that stuff by finding dad’s old magazine stash.

[antmot]

I've legit lost my faith in discord, there's nothing that can safe it

tbh this was pretty light
Here in Brazil about 8 months ago there was a huge scandal (with most main TV channels covering the story) where the actual Federal Police investigated a huge Discord Server where the admins/owners would blackmail newcomers (mostly minor girls and a couple boys) into some really messed up stuff.
At first they'd request an "iniciation" into the server, where the target would have to share their faces and then do some shameful stuff, but after a while they'd threat them most of the time with Doxxing and force them to the heavy stuff: self-multilament with knives, setting big stuff on their houses on fire, torturing (and even killing) pets, sharing nudes, fleeing their houses and going into their cities, threating them like "gods" and there was even multiple acusations of r*p*
thankfully they've all been arrested, and what's crazy is that there were people from cities across the entire country involved....
Discord really has to do something about its (non-existent) moderation
