If the account age estimation puts you in adult, it sounds like you don't need to do any of those?

I'd like to see details about their model there, but account age is at least better than a lot of systems like steam are doing for this.

This proposed solution does however allow quite liberal access to discord without confirming the age. If the implementation is as worded; then i would not see a reason to confirm my age at all.

The issue comes down to if governments accept such a (urgh) comparatively lax implementation. It's pretty clear to me that the primary purpose of these laws are entirely to... force all citizens to identify themselves across the internet for the purpose of profile building, and nothing to do with child safety.

So as implementations go; this one is pretty decent. We should stop governments from passing these darn laws though.

Sounds like scam.

I can imagine a few more. Here's one that is 100% effective:

* Wait until your account was created > 18 years ago.

That may not be enough for you, and that's fine, this is not a governmental service or site, with a mandate to serve everyone. You can chose not to use discord, and discord can choose not to have you as a customer. YMMV.
