@verge RIP discord.

@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.)
@woozle @netskaven @verge no, no they wont.

Nice, that's always a good motivation to leave. -

@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.

@verge They have done it some time ago, in the UK, so it's not exactly news. Just choose your bypass of choice....

@verge never understood why people use this garbage tier service. I used it for a brief spell some years ago - absolutely hated everything about it. Hard to find info - crap organization, lame monetizing scheme. Total trash. This should be the needle that breaks the camels back for many.

@verge Please leave Discord, you should have left it years ago. I stopped using Discord 2+ years ago, never returned.
Also, don't keep documentation on Matrix, Discord, etc. Put it on a wiki or docs website, FFS.

Yeah, usually self-owns of this magnitude only happen after being bought out by Yahoo.

@verge Just another step towards chipping people living in US, and tracking and monitoring them with Starlink using xAI. Keep capitulating, and this WILL be our future. No doubt.

“We’re not doing biometric scanning [or] facial recognition. We’re doing facial estimation."Ok, that actually made me laugh

15 years ago Discord had a very good thin client set-up that was great for streaming, and great for video-calls, but unfortunately the enshittification has kicked in.
So fat-client and so slow, their website is.
