@verge Okay, time to delete my account.

@netskaven The problem is all the people who will be like "well, that's annoying, but I guess we have to do it" and won't make any effort to move their communities.
(...and it's easier to say "well then, you don't need that community if they're going to be like that" than it is to actually do it, in many cases.)
@netskaven @verge @woozle yeah many of my discord friends are like "Twitter sucks so I'm just going to quit social media entirely" rather than try something else, so I expect it will be "just going to quit discord, bye"

@verge "Beginning in March, all accounts will have a ‘teen-appropriate experience by default.’"
Who determines what a "teen experience" is, and this is what folk have been saying when protesting this ridiculous age verification thing: it affects everybody and is a privacy issue for everyone, which is a bigger deal than the pretended "what about the children?" They will now be collecting data on children as they grow up.

@wiredfire @stux @verge Boy, I hope so, but… (glaring at Bluesky)… it ain’t gonna happen.

Welp. Being a friendless technoluddite saves me from yet another privacy nightmare. Hopefully all the communities still hosting their content solely on a chatroom figure out they should've moved elsewhere already. -

RIP internet we used to know.@retrocoffee @verge Discord never was that Internet we used to know (open, standards-reliant, distributed, community-driven, easy access) but the exact opposite (company-owned, gated, monetized, centralized, enshittified) 🤫 I hope people will actually notice and make a choice, instead of just moving to a lookalike.

@elosha I was making reference to the collection ID part that many websites are shifting towards.
