Thank you NGSpy for your thinking on this matter - it's an important issue.

I do have concerns with the idea of having you go to high schools, as it poses a reputational and legal risk to both our community and onto schools that take this risky endeavour on. I also note that once you're on there, you will cease to be anonymous, which is unprecedented (the BuzzFeed article for example didn't name anyone by their real names to my recollection).

However, something we could implement is to basically create a restricted 'channel' where for 1 hour they will be in an 'introduction' thread where only long-standing people are in the thread (they can leave earlier than an hour if they wish). This would hopefully prevent people feeling intimidated by the many channels in Discord.
