Suicide and Self-Harm Risk At Discord, we are committed to creating and maintaining a safe online environment and preventing harm. At Discord, we care deeply about our users' safety and well-being and understand the importance of healthy online communities for mental well-being. We do not allow the coordination or the graphic depiction of self-harm or of suicide. Self-harm is when one intentionally hurts or causes themselves pain, and suicide is the intentional act of ending one's life. Examples of self-harm behaviors include intentionally ending one's life, self-inflicted injury, and engaging in disordered eating patterns. Self-Harm Encouragement and Promotion Using Discord to glorify or promote suicide or self-harm is not allowed under any circumstance. We believe in fostering a positive and healthy environment where users can come together to support one another. However, it is important that these discussions do not promote, glorify, or normalize self-harm behaviors. Our goal is to ensure that everyone feels safe and supported. Eating Disorder Content Discord prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of our users.
