There aren't any technical blockers to getting a Discord account. The main reason given in these replies is parents not liking their kids talking to strangers on the internet. If that's the case, the parents probably don't want them talking to strangers here either. It's not any other site's responsibility to create loopholes at their own expense. Keeping it would drain money from the company. Money that the low usage numbers and adless nature do not compensate.
