And in addition to this, groups can link their group twitters, facebooks, etc. along with their Discord servers.

Yeah, but the link won’t be visible to <13 users in the first place.
If they get the link, then, it would have nothing to do with Roblox.

I think they will be - that’s what they said in the announcement post.
Honestly, ROBLOX could of pulled this off by doing something like this, causing little damage to communities.
Smacked that like button, this has my full support.

You Ninja’d me, was about to post the exact same thing. If roblox has issues with <13 users, then we can easily limit it to 13>. That easy. That simple. We can even implement that in our games by checking for the player’s age and displayign the discord link accordingly.
I’m wondering what @berezaa plans to do with the special prizes available to discord members he has used for Miner’s Haven. We’ve obviosly spent time and energy into sewing dsicord and roblox together with bots and maintaining large communities…
Huge Support. (And pressed that 40th like because I’m special) lol.

Definite support.
Discord is one of the few(if not the only) safest/easiest way for both developers and fans to communicate with eachother.
I use it to receive post-update feedbacks and it has worked way much better than what the ROBLOX platform offers.
A good alternative would be to create a similar chat system inside ROBLOX(group chats) but even so i don’t know how reliable will it be due of the hashtags.
I think the problem is that the current platform does not provide enough tools for the developers to get their feedbacks from the fans, making other platforms way much more reliable.

I support this feature. As much as I dislike the fact that ROBLOX is moderating the usage of Discord on ROBLOX to such an extent, I feel that this would be an applicable solution to all the problems faced, which were quite evident as of yesterday. If ROBLOX does keep the ban up on the links, I hope this may outcome as a feature as well so we can have a resolution for both sides (those who want to keep discord and those who want to ban its links).
Even if Roblox adds more social and chat features to the site, I don’t think it will be enough.
Compare Roblox to Steam: both try to create a whole social system for users and developers to take advantage of, with forums and chat included for every game on Steam.
Despite this, most of the activity and fanbase of games goes to Discord.
Discord is a powerful tool with lots of features that make it easy to use for both players and moderators. Discord is accessible and easy to use on any device. Having Roblox Discord servers makes Roblox seem on-par with every other game (i.e. the games are legitimate games with legitimate fanbases).
Using a system by Roblox would lose moderation tools (i.e. mod bots), the massive amount of development for such tools, the ease-of-use of Discord, and remove the legitimacy that is part of having a fanbase on one of the most widely-used gaming platforms. Trying to be on-par with Discord will be difficult because Discord focuses entirely on the Discord product – features are constantly being added and the product is constantly being refined to suit users. For example, I doubt a Roblox equivalent would have a built in dark theme, and it probably would not have as-easy-to-use server browsing and customization. It would likely lack a bot API necessary for mass moderation, too, which is almost essential.
Rather than hold Roblox back from being part of what seems to be a standard part of gaming communities, perhaps it would be better if Roblox gave official channels with which developers can communicate links to Discord servers. Make it clear that developers are not to mention Discord, but show Discord links to 13+ users – allowing developers to curate a community around their game on the same platform that every other game uses.

I seriously hope that this will be included in the group update (Q1 2018)
There’s a lot of stuff that they need to add and this is one of them.

I fully support this. Discord is one of the largest social platforms that developers use to reach out to their fanbase off-site.
It should be added.

Use of Discord’s services is restricted to 13+ users, according to Terms of Service | Discord . You, as a consumer of the product, is responsible for reading and agreeing to these terms - surely, kids won’t bother with that most likely, though those who have, are breaking the ToS.
This solution would be much appreciated 
- if not, they’re deliberately harming a major part of Roblox’s users.

Discord was amazing for our development team, UltraGames.
The bug reports and suggestion channels we had were perfect
-Low amounts of spam
-can be read by our whole team
-the information was filtered into categories (e.g bugs, suggestions, questions)
I have disabled PMs on roblox as I was receiving ~30 per day and it wasn’t worth my time to read them all - mostly because there was a lot of useless information.
Group walls are filled with too much spam. Again, it is too time-consuming to filter between useful information and useless information.
So, I hope roblox can provide a solution to this problem as at the moment there is no link between our developers and our player base, except our existing discord users.

Would you be able to edit this sentence? There have been no changes, the thread you link is a reminder of the policy. Just for the sake of not spreading misinformation.

Definitely, want these to be linkable, it would be super help. Another feature I need is EMBEDDED TWEETS! Currently going to my @HiddenDevs tweets for my group is hell as the twitter link doesn’t even work for copying it as a piece of it is always cut off.
