Discord Implements Ban on Deadnaming and Misgendering
Discord has updated its hateful conduct policy to include deadnaming and misgendering as bannable behaviors. The company aims to promote acceptance and inclusivity and is working with experts to ensure its policies accurately cover harmful actions. GLAAD has praised Discord’s efforts and called on other social networks to recognize deadnaming and misgendering as hate speech. While Discord operates on a warning system before issuing bans, repeat and severe violations may result in permanent suspension.
