    If something like this happens, I’m setting up a Matrix room as something on the side for if people who work on the same project I do want out of this garbage.

    As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I’m curious as to how this will work.

        Articles are so much better than videos a lot of the time. I’ll watch a video for kinetic things, like how to flush my radiator etc.

        Its annoying when information is in a video that could easily be written out and skimmed.

      NTTS is someone I’ve watched for a while who spends lots of time looking at and reporting on upcoming discord features, as well as scams and CSAM material on the platform. He’s very clear in the videos when something is rumored, added to the client as a beta feature, etc.

    If you have a discord account, they already know who you are. If you tried to get an account anonymously, they’d ban you and demand a phone number.

    I never used discord because it was never possible to do so securely. Friends dont let friends use discord.

    Use matrix or something better.

      The annoying thing is that a lot of support or even downloadable content is on Discord exclusively. We’ve had similar shitty trends with Facebook, Tumblr, etc. and it just is annoying. People claim it’s where most people are but ignore the fact that it is impossible to access for everyone who is not.

        Yeah, using authwalled websites is stupid.

        In my country politicians upload their policies exclusively on authwalled sites. The website just links to authwalled social media accounts. Its infuriating.

      listen we need to have a chat,

      you and me and some others on here understand using matrix and signal and whatever for E2EE chats. The people who use discord/facebook messenger/imessage/sms/whatsapp DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about this stuff. They are only going to use what is in pop culture. That’s how it is and i know it sucks, but people think its easy to “Get your family/friends over” whey they laugh at you and say “im not downloading just use x plz”

        Here’s the thing… People who care still use Discord. I’m one of them. I have no other option for maintaining communications with a group of 20 people I have been gaming with since 2009. We’ve all hopped from Skype to Teamspeak to Ventrillo to Discord. There’s no going back for many of these people.

        Like it or not, Discord offers a product that Signal, Briar, or any other Matrix chat offers and that’s accessibility. I would love for a mainstream E2EE chat program that actually can host a 15 person call, hold multiple chatrooms in one server, allow screen sharing, streaming and multimedia sharing.

        We can’t just live in a vacuum and claim nobody uses these programs because they’re stupid or don’t care. For many, like me, Discord a reasonable security risk people are willing to take in order to maintain communications with people they care about.

          This in turn is the problem im speaking about. We could go on about it all day. The only people that will use these tools for the most part are us. So naturally we should just be talking to each other, but yeah when it comes to our personal group, not happening.

    This was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.

    I don’t see reporting on this from any reputable sources. If this were true, every major blog covering tech and gaming would be all over it. All I can find is random YouTube channels and nobody websites discussing it.

    I’m not gonna pay it any attention until there’s reliable evidence they’re actually planning on doing this.

    Hmmm. So how long before another AI is able to generate a good enough face to fool the age verification AI (or can it already)? Interesting three-legged race there.
