How to protect your Discord server from raids

Most raids follow the same playbook: a wave of fresh accounts joins and floods or nukes the server. Here is a practical checklist to shut that down.

The raid-proofing checklist

Account-age gate: require accounts to be a few days old so throwaways are filtered.
Join-rate limit: trigger protection when too many members join at once.
Mass-action limits: cap how many channels or roles can be created or deleted quickly.
Backups: keep automatic backups so a nuke is reversible.

Set it up in minutes

Open Anti-Raid, pick your server and enable each of these from the dashboard. The defaults are a sensible starting point for most servers.

Pair it with verification

Discord's built-in onboarding and verification levels (email or phone) add another layer in front of the raid. Use them together with anti-raid for the strongest gate.

Open Anti-Raid and harden your server now.

Frequently asked questions

What is lockdown mode?

It temporarily stops new and unverified members from posting, so a raid in progress cannot do damage while you respond.

How fast does it react?

The bot reacts automatically the moment its thresholds are crossed - no waiting for a moderator to notice.
