So it's not just that Discord is requiring pictures or IDs to verify age. They're also going to be running AI against everything you do on there to "infer" your age... So make sure you "type old".
Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the background to help determine whether an account belongs to an adult, without always requiring users to verify their age. Some users may be asked to use multiple methods if more information is needed to assign an age group.”

@FknHannu Nah, this Discord shit is like all of these things. Everyone will angrily shout about going somewhere else, then slink back the next week.

@JessTheUnstill Well, shit. There are a few Discord groups that I'm on. I'm pretty sure that Discord has a ton of info on me already, but I don't think I'll be back.

I think the main thing keeping people on platforms like Discord & Facebook are the group management features.
Private Facebook groups offer the 'walled garden' vibe for special interests, while Discord makes it much easier to organize a community.
There's a feature gap that I haven't seen any other products step in to fill (especially for non-technical users).

Typing “lol” at the end of every sentence should do the trick.

@JessTheUnstill So if I reminisce a lot about the days of IRC, it'll infer I'm old?

@JessTheUnstill So just use punctuation. Got it.
@lizardbill @JessTheUnstill Indeed, my first thought was that all of those periods at the end of sentences that Zoomers think are grumpy and aggressive will save me! #GenX

@JessTheUnstill Ugh. It's likely because Discord is going IPO in March.

Yeah, because in the end there is no real alternative.
No one wants to go through the work of setting up their own niche foss server and then have to convince their friends to figure out.

That's ... Really not an alternative when we have to do everything we can to INCREASE our connections to others, and the way people connect is via the internet. You're basically suggesting the digital equivalent of "well I don't like capitalism so I'll just move to my hut in the woods", which fine. Good luck with that. But most of us need jobs in order to eat. -
