@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 Just another step towards chipping all 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

@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.
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.

@verge Glad I never became dependent on this shitty IRC knockoff

@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 to be fair, it’s about time that Discord takes this responsibility and does not have all the “servers” request and validate PII as a hobby

@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...
