Do we like Discord?

Chat and community app, used by gamers, creators and fan groups, based in San Francisco, US

Our score: 4 out of 10. Not yet. Several US states are suing over child safety and a 2025 breach leaked ID photos. The newer safety tools are a start, but they came late.

Discord grew out of a gaming-focused start-up and became the default place for gamers, creators and fandoms to chat. Co-founder Jason Citron ran it for about 13 years. In April 2025 he handed the CEO job to Humam Sakhnini, a former Activision Blizzard vice chairman, as the company got ready to list on the stock market.

Discord filed confidentially for a US IPO in January 2026, working with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. Some reports say no public filing has appeared yet and that its valuation has dropped from the $15bn peak to roughly $8bn. It is still private, so it answers to investors rather than public shareholders.

The big drama is child safety. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued in 2026, accusing Discord of deceiving parents about safety. Florida's attorney general followed in October 2026 with a lawsuit seeking big penalties. New Jersey sued in 2025, and Discord said it disputes those claims and will defend the case.

Privacy took a knock too. In October 2025 Discord said hackers got into a customer-support vendor, and about 70,000 users may have had government ID photos exposed. Those photos had been sent in to appeal age checks. Discord said it revoked the vendor's access and contacted the people affected.

On the plus side, Discord announced an age assurance system and new teen safety settings in September 2026. Florida's attorney general says that was too little, too late. Until the lawsuits play out and the safety changes prove themselves, we'd keep our money elsewhere, so it scores a low 3.5.
