Is this required for signing up or only if you're banned for being underage?
Discord
Discord is a voice, video, and text communication service to talk and hang out with your friends and communities.
Just underage, and even then you can opt for the manual method via support instead
Wow, absolutely fucking not.
I already hate how so many things use discord when it could be on a simple web page instead. I won't miss it, I'm not going to submit to that either.
I have yet to use discord and I haven’t felt like I’ve been missing anything as a result.
A lot of games/gaming communities have moved from forum/wiki info repositories to "it's on the official discord" type stuff.
Just to make sure nothing can ever be found, and everyone has to repeat the same answers endlessly?
And no more than 3 people (the hard core community long timers) can have a conversation at the same time because heaven forbid we use threads.
