[quote=Anonymous]My kid uses Discord and I sometimes go in to see what's happening. So far nothing like this (I don't think), but when I was in there once I tweaked the settings to try to prevent issues that might come up. Who knows if I did, but I do agree they need to figure out how to manage this to a degree, so I'm hoping he does.

To the poster who said this isn't for children--you're right. I wouldn't let a 9 year old on it. But 14, 15? Yes.

I don't like Discord or any related communications platforms with people who are basically strangers it at all, but DS is a massive introvert who struggles to make friends, and online gaming has allowed him to connect with other people related to something they both/all enjoy. Especially in the past year, I can't see taking that away from him. And who knows what kind of crap he'd be hearing if he were around actual other teen boys right now, in person. Onlne he knows he's not supposed to share personal details, and that he needs to be guarded and disengage when anything feels off or uncomfortable. So I have faith and I hope it isn't misplaced.[/quote]
