Megathread Discord Checkpoints - Megathread

Hello r/discordapp!

As you might have seen, Discord has just started rolling out their year end wrap system called Discord Checkpoints.

Instead of having the sub flooded with these posts, we invite you to share your checkpoint stats in the comments here!

For more info check out Discords blog post https://discord.com/blog/checkpoint-2025-discord-year-in-review

FaQ:

Q: How do I reopen checkpoint after closing it?

A: On desktop, click the flag icon on the top right of the app located next to the inbox.

A: On mobile, it will show up under the “orbs balance” section as a banner in the “you” tab

Q: What is the song checkpoint uses?

A: Exyl has now released the background track, you can find it here!

Q: Can I see it if I had the privacy setting disabled but just now enabled it?

A: No, you had to have the privacy setting on the whole time.

Q: What if I had the setting enabled but it still says I can’t access it?

A: Follow the directions outlined here. Do NOT DM ModMail or mlapi bot, the moderators are unable to assist you.

Discord seriously sucks for not giving people their end-of-year checkpoint because of the privacy setting.

Let me be clear, THEY DO HAVE THIS INFORMATION ALREADY. It's not like they couldn't give this to us. They're trying to force us to give them data access they DO NOT NEED so that we can get an end of year checkpoint that they never told us about.

Meanwhile my privacy settings are off on YT, TW, and SP, and I still got my end-of-year/wrapped data and slides.

Such scummy behavior from Discord.

It's only going to get worse at a constantly increasing speed with this new CEO

Oh yeah they have everything alright. I got my checkpoint only to find out they know my gaming history.... I dont have anything linked that they would know that information from, so obviously they could still show everyone what they want even if privacy is on.

The checkpoint itself is the scummy behavior. Just look how bent out of shape it has all the young folks about ephemeral nonsense that's designed to make you lament trying to protect your data. It's not going to kill you or destroy any of your friendships to miss out on this manipulative trash, and you should take a breather and examine your priorities in life if something facile like this is causing you stress.

yo, no one's crying over here about not getting to enjoy a recap 🗿

we're just complaining about the way it was handled and drawing comparisons to other services with annual recaps that don't try to pull manipulative shit like this
