@sandwich @nixCraft I deleted my account the moment I heard the news.

@initsevem @nixCraft
I know some people they are so much agains switching away to alternatives like Matrix/Element, they say yellow bars on windows when screensharing is enouth for a reason to not do so

[lilywaylolz@mastodon.social]

Welp, time to cancel my discord nitro

[lilywaylolz@mastodon.social]

Actually, I'm not sure what that would even do. I'd still have to verify, and I do NOT want to verify. I don't want to stop using discord since I have a lot of uses for it, but... ugh.

[catavz@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft You mean discard?

[initsevem@mastodon.social]

@sandwich @nixCraft Oh, I barely used it. I primarily use signal.

Verification to use a service is a hard line for me but then again, I'm entrenched into FOSS and won't miss these services very much.

[thirstybear@agilodon.social]

@nixCraft Why would I want my face or ID leaked onto the internet? No thanks.

[celeste_42bit@infosec.exchange]

@nixCraft Discord? More like "Discard".

Just deleted my account.

@nixCraft

erm...

Who still wants to do that anyway after you learned that your data is not safe there?

Breach was in October. Go figure.

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users

As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.
