Is Discord Safe for Kids?

[Noemi]

I’m curious about whether Discord is safe for kids to use. I know it’s popular for chatting and gaming communities, but I’ve also heard mixed opinions about moderation and adult content. Can anyone share real experiences or tips on how to make Discord safer for younger users, including settings or rules that help protect them?

Discord can be risky for kids because it lets users chat with strangers, share images, and join public servers. It’s better for teens with strong privacy settings, parental oversight, and clear rules. For younger kids, safer alternatives made specifically for children’s communication are recommended. Discord’s minimum age is 13+.

Discord can be risky for kids because it allows chats with strangers, public servers, image sharing, and voice channels. It’s better for teens 13+ with strict privacy settings, muted DMs from unknowns, and parent oversight. For younger kids, safer apps designed for children’s communication are recommended instead.
