100% Support, but it would very likely have to have a huge amount of restrictions on it because through discord you can send whatever you want; no roblox rules apply
what would these be?
This doesnāt make sense, because Youtube, Twitter, Twitch, and Facebook is allowed.
Which all donāt follow roblox rules.
Why are those allowed then? Discord is no different in terms of rules than the current allowed media.
In my opinion those other networks have got through as they were added before the massive moderation overhaul, now, it would be way less likely for things like those to be added. Also, the fact that its linked through roblox makes it appear like itās endorsed by roblox. Most people know what twitter, youtube and facebook are, and so wont blame roblox for allowing links for it.
Having a discord link, however, means that that person can be exposed to anything, and if their parents see something inappropriate and theyāre a young child Iād say theyāre pretty likely to say āi clicked it on robloxā which places the blame on them, and as the parent likely doesnāt know what discord is, itās way more their fault. Also, linking directly to discord is a clear avoidance of the roblox messaging and moderation system, so itās unlikely theyād endorse that.
The argument about being exposed to things is just plain stupid and should be thrown out tbh, twitter is far worse than Discord in regards to being exposed to things. If anything, discord is safer than any of the current links. 
Itās a useful tool used by nearly the entire site, even staff members, Iām sure itāll eventually be added, probably specifically only servers.
Possibly a way around the concerns with the servers could be submit your server rules list, and link for review before they allow the link/button to be public on your profile/group page.

indeed discord is far safer than twitter ; in twitter it needs only one single wrong click and every kids innocence dies in seconds ; in discord you only land on a in most cases moderated and usually far more safe chat .
I think all discord server links on roblox should get under moderation review and need to get approved before they become visible ; meaning the a roblox moderation team or a roblox bot would need to actually quickly check out / join the linked server in order to tell if its ābasicallyā roughly āsafeā or not.

definite support! but iām not so sure about making it 13+ considering they dont do that with twitter.
I support this, make sure the feature is only accessible to 13+.
13+ I think might be a little odd because twitter and youtube isnāt. Rules are normally pretty well enforced by Roblox Discord Communities, with the only deviation being swearing to a degree is tolerated. This is definitely the case in my Discord with 13k members, and most of the other discords Iām on.
on an unrelated note, I think itās not allowed (currently) because of moderation
facebook, twitter, twitch, etc all moderate their content (yes swears and stuff get by)
by discord servers are self-moderation, so illegal stuff is more likely to occur

yesā¦ and no.
because twitter/facebook/youtube are all larger companies which have major issues with moderation.
and more times than not, illegal content gets through. Not to mention twitter allows 18+ content.
more time than not, a roblox related discord community is safer.
Support.

yes and no again
youtube and twitter (not sure about facebook/other) usually have the confirm your age prompt (doesnāt really confirm your age, but you have to press a button before that content is viewed //both twitter and youtube have settings to block that content from even being viewed.
discord allows more (they do have rules, but itās basically donāt post illegal stuff), but they must be labelled NSFW, but itās simply that, a label, you donāt have to verify age or nothing/no settings to block NSFW content from being viewed.
but discord servers can be safe if they utilize bots/automatic moderation methods, however I see itās the case that most servers simply are not. (thereās even some roblox based servers with NSFW channels)
Judging by the lack of any kind of reaction from the staff, is it safe to say this wonāt happen?

Major Support!
Even if this is implemented it will probably be like the facebook button. You can add facebook to your profile, but you canāt say Facebook in game. lol

Iād love to see this added.
I post a lot of important information in my discord server, such as changelogs, known bugs and update announcements.

I think Roblox has some sort of official presence on all the whitelisted sitesāi.e., a Twitter account, YouTube channel, etc.
Thatās not the case with Discord.
Thereās no official presence, but thereās definitely presence. There are tons of Discord Servers for Roblox groups, games, ā¦ and thereās discord.gg/roblox which is unofficial (and it clearly states that too)
You canāt really āhave a presenceā on discord, apart from having your own (partnered) server. There are quite a few of big names (and I even think roblox employees) at the top in the Roblox Discord. While it isnāt official, itās definitely the main roblox discord. (and I think they wouldnāt mind with making roblox employees staff to become official)
Here are some of the Roblox servers that Iām in:
(mind that for the online user count, itās 3pm UTC, which is when most robloxians arenāt even online)
(verified: some servers require you to prove your discord username == roblox username)
- Roblox Discord (discord.gg/roblox) with 1400 online verified users (and 300 unverified online)
- Jailbreak (discord.gg/jailbreak) with also 1400 online users
- StyLiS Studios (discord.gg/stylis) with 1000 online users
- Hidden Developers (discord.gg/hd) with 250 online verified users (and 70 unverified online)
I might note down the number of online users on a wednesday afternoon or so, when roblox is fully āawakeā
Those are just some servers Iām in. All of them were active enough to get partnered with discord (static invite link) and have plenty of robloxians actively socializing in them. There are a lot more servers with hundreds (and even more than a thousand) of online users at a time.
As a discord.gg/roblox server admin, Iād like you to know that Roblox has no expressed interest in making the server official. Some Roblox staff used to and still do have certain permissions in the server. Keep in mind that Roblox staff in the server are acting as community members, and will not allow inquiries to go through unofficial channels (such as DMs).
Sure, thereās a huge fan presence on Discord, but it lacks the tools necessary to make it an environment that is controlled enough to meet Robloxās online safety requirements (in terms of content more than anything). This is the most probable reason why Roblox has not whitelisted Discord on the website, as it cannot guarantee any form of protection for users going to those privately owned, independent servers.
Roblox canāt guarantee any form of protection on Twitter too. Swearing, and less so NSFW, is easily found on twitter
