I'm yet again seeing beings making very unwise choices in public, so I guess it's time to put this message out there again…
PSA: do not use Discord for child pornography or any kind of sexual interaction involving a legal minor, including yourself if applicable, even just text, ever!
You really shouldn't be breaking the law on any platform that isn't end-to-end encrypted so that the platform itself doesn't know what you're doing, but if you're going to do it anyway, Discord is one of the very worst choices due to its moderation, which is very proactive about finding rule violations that haven't even been reported by anyone - doing things like investigating every single account on rule-violating servers, chaining through friends lists looking for more accounts in violation, and is even experimenting with algorithmic detection so a human moderator doesn't even need to be spying on you personally.
Furthermore, Discord is highly involved with law enforcement. Being caught by Discord often results in all data available to them - including phone numbers used for verification, which is basically a dox right there - being sent to the NCMEC, an American "child safety" organization that can then coordinate directly with your local law enforcement.
If you've already posted things on Discord that you shouldn't have - that's bad! You need to immediately delete all of those messages (even then, they won't be removed from Discord's servers until ~1-3 months later), not do it again, and if you really want to go the extra mile, strip your account (leave servers, remove friends, social media links, phone numbers) and deactivate it - the first step being necessary because full account deactivation actually takes a long time, Discord really doesn't wanna let go of your data easily. This isn't foolproof given how much data Discord retains, but it should at least significantly reduce how much interest they have in pursuing you, since you're not their problem anymore.
Please, pass this message along, make sure your friends who use Discord and are at any risk know, and use less dangerous apps like Matrix/Element, Session, and SimpleX instead!
