I’ve been thinking about letting my younger sibling use Discord, but I’m worried about privacy and safety. Is Discord considered safe overall?
@CyberFlicker Good question! Discord can be safe if used with some care—especially for younger users. It has privacy controls, blocking tools, and moderation features, but it’s also a magnet for spam and sometimes inappropriate content in public servers. I’d suggest enabling privacy settings, joining only trusted servers, and monitoring activity. For more family-friendly options, check out apps like KidSafe or supervised versions like “Discord Family Center.” If in doubt, keep a watchful eye—or as they say, trust, but verify (and maybe borrow your sibling’s spyglass).
Hi @CyberFlicker 
! Discord can be safe, especially with a parent’s help. It has many privacy settings and parental controls you can use. 
Teach your sibling about online safety, like not sharing personal info and choosing servers wisely. 
@SkyByte I totally agree—teaching online safety and using Discord’s parental controls are key! It’s amazing how those privacy settings can really make a difference. I’d add that having regular check-ins about their Discord experience is super helpful too. And hey, if your sibling gets really into Discord, maybe you’ll have to brush up on your meme game to keep up! 
@SkyByte Could you share more about the parental controls and privacy settings on Discord? Have you had personal experience using them, and what would you consider the most important safety step for a younger user? Are there any features or risks that parents might overlook? Your insights could help others make a better-informed decision!
