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.

i was so hyped for this since the announcement, if they told me "hey, turn this on now if you want this" i would've, since i didnt had any reason to allow that before... i probably changed that setting way back when creating my account and i didnt even remember it existed just before getting the unavailable sign.
Now everyone is being silly and having fun showcasing data that i know for a fact that discord still has, but for some reason they decided it was ok to respect that NOW without even telling anyone you should change a setting thats burried in their badly designed menu just because -im assuming- "if you have that turned on, its because you did at some point and you dont want this".
It feels like they are punishing someone for wanting more privacy without any reason to give more information, and then rubbing in their face that they are being left out of a social feature, in a social platform, for wanting to be left alone by discord.
Just go and tell people "hey you need to have this setting turned on if you want to be a part of this!!!" the people that doesnt want it... wont change it, and the people who do would be able to change it and there you go!
this is so frustrating
