They probably do. But you just don't know? There are a _lot_ of strange chatrooms with "strangers" on Discord, including a lot of porn on Discord for example.

- khazhoux 3y agoNo, they’re definitely not chatting with strangers. They spend a lot of hours on chat (teen/preteen), and some parents might cut them off at night -- but we don't. We can clearly hear that they're talking with friends. So we let them burn the hours in chat because it's how they socialize... and as a side effect it doesn't leave any time left over for random stranger forums.
- nixpulvis 3y agoLol
- khazhoux 3y agoWhich part?
- ukuina 3y agoThe naivete? Unless you are randomly sampling their Discord membership, that is.
- khazhoux 3y agoIt's conceivable that after spending hours every day hanging out in person after school and more hours in the evening on their (loud) group chats, that they secretly engage with randos on Discord. But it's not naive to believe that we've enabled a healthy social environment, warned about strangers/etc online, and (my wife) is incredibly communicative with them about their daily lives. I'm sure there's lots of other pitfalls they'll fall into despite our best efforts. But rando chats is unlikely to be the one. Hell, I wouldn't spend my own time arguing with strangers on HN if I had an active friend group like them!
- Culonavirus 3y agoYeah, Discord doesn't have the greatest reputation. https://endsexualexploitation.org/articles/discord-is-a-haven-for-gamers-and-sexual-exploiters/ https://endsexualexploitation.org/articles/discord-is-a-have...
