@verge bye bye discord, what's the problem?
-
@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.)

@woozle @netskaven @verge because people who tell others to move their communities offer no suggestions as to suitable alternatives?

@feorag Yes, and the dearth of easy choices for alternatives is also a problem.
There's Revolt, which is pretty darn close (but do you want to tie your community to yet another 3rd party server or else figure out how to self-host, which does not appear easy), and there's Matrix (which is not exactly a drop-in replacement but can give a similar experience if appropriately configured, and that's not easy either)...

@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 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.
