Lol, no thanks. I deleted this trash years ago and wish companies would stop using it for tech and customer support. “Join our discord channel!” - no.
I hope for once people would get together and drop Discord so that Discord would have to reverse this policy. So often, we the customers really have the power if we get together and act together. All these social networks are nothing without the contributions of the customers.

As the adage goes, if you’re not paying for it (and often even when you are), you’re not the customer.
We should append this, …" or it is open source"

Goodbye Discord.
Hello Matrix!
Matrix isn’t that good from an usability standpoint as it looks a lot like IRC
I’m never doing this. I’ll pay someone else to verify my account before I upload my dox with these assholes.
I’m fine switching to an alternative, but I have seen no gaming companies linking anything else for their official “forums”
Minecraft.wiki links to Zulip…
I don’t trust discord with what little I formation I’ve gave them so far. Definitely not giving them my ID or a scan of my face.
But they pinky promise the face scan is not facial recognition and that it’s immediately deleted and never leaves your device.
in other news: next month i will be attempting to bypass discord’s “AI” powered security features. I expect to overcome them in 4 minutes with a pic of an ID i found on the internet
Use one from Musk
Does there exist an alternative that has both a desktop (WIN/Linux) client and a phone (android/iphone) client?
XMPP, Conversations is a Nice Android client.

However, some users may not have to go through either form of age verification. Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord.>
Considering the recent “third-party” data breach cases…
Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive.

I’m not using discord for porn, so I’m not going to lose sleep. Will simply live with a “teen” account until my groups migrate to a better service.
But you’ll get my biometrics from my cold dead hands.
They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.
GOOD
Crazy they didn’t implement this years ago. Discord is bloated with fake user spam.
That last part should just be a feature of any account.

it’s easy to see how they’ll manipulate this to make you think that their pro-zionist bots are actual people.
New to the whole privacy space, what should I start moving my social group to that’s like discord but not doing this?
Finally my chance to quit?
Idk
