This one scared me. Found out my son was in a Discord server with people he doesn't know IRL. Some of them seemed normal but some were sus. Had a serious talk with him about internet safety but now I'm paranoid. Are Discord and these gaming communities actually dangerous or am I being the paranoid dad?

This is legitimately scary. Discord is no joke. I had to sit down with my 12yo and explain that not everyone online is who they say they are. We went through his servers together and I made him leave anything with randoms. Worth being the uncool parent over.
Yeah that's a red flag. I don't let my 11yo on Discord at all. There's a reason it skews older and it's because there are creeps looking for kids. You're not being paranoid, this is legit dangerous.
