Discord changed their TOS to disallow class-action lawsuits and enforce arbitration. It’s possible to opt out but you have to email them at arbitration-opt-out@discord.com with the email you signed up with, within 30 days. The devs are spinning it as protection from frivolous suits, but in all likelihood it’s a precursor to a move toward selling your personal info like other social media sites.

if you need an explanation of why arbitration is bad see below

If you want a template, here’s a handy one.

Dear Discord,

By this email, I am opting out of the agreement to arbitrate as authorized by the new changes to the Discord Terms of Service Agreement.

I DO NOT AGREE TO THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE FOR THE ACCOUNT(S) LISTED/DESCRIBED BELOW:

XXXXX#XXXX (Your discord name and #number)
XXXXX (Your e-mail)
+X XXX-XXX-XXXX (Your SMS/Phone and country-code. +1 for United States)

Please let me know immediately if there is additional information needed to implement my opt-out request. Finally, I would like to ask for a written confirmation that you have received and processed this notice.

Sincerely,
XXXXX XXXXX
