[coleblank@mastodon.social]

@verge Yeah, no thanks. ‍️

[korbs@social.sudovanilla.org]

@verge Okay, time to delete my account.

[kinsale42@mstdn.games]

@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"

[retrocoffee@mastodon.social]

@verge lol RIP internet we used to know.

@freediverx @Ertain @verge Well, if that isn’t the perfect use for this meme…

@CStamp @verge The deep and universal concern for the welfare of children juxtaposed with the piss-warm response to Epstein really makes one want to burn things down.

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@su_liam @verge These people don't care about the welfare of children. They only care about control and exploitation.

[su_liam@mas.to]

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

[su_liam@mas.to]

@CStamp @verge Kerosene is a wonderful thing.

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.

@verge well - looks like I'm gonna be a teenager again

[slyborg@vmst.io]

@verge Discord was always a teen experience for me.

@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.

> instead of banning them they implement age verification

STOP ATTACKING THE SYMPTOM AND GET STRAGHT TO THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM... This shit is goddamn SICKENING...

[retrocoffee@mastodon.social]

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

Zulip, which has impressive functionality, amazing docs (including those on self hosting), and has an amazing company behind it
