@verge sounds like time to reevaluate how much I really need discord installed.

@verge Agh! Couldn't they have waited until Matrix and/or Delta Chat was ready as a Good replacement? -
@woozle @netskaven @verge because people who tell others to move their communities offer no suggestions as to suitable alternatives?
Even if they're now spoiled rotten by llms, search engines still work well enough to look for them. If your community is to move, it has to be a collective decision and they should do some work too.

@verge
Welp...Time to drop Nitro, write a sternly worded email and look for a replacement for Discord.
Maybe set up a private Team Speak server or something. Or maybe go back to good old XMPP...

@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.
