Discord has quietly begun testing Incode as a new age verification provider, replacing its previous vendor for some users. The company says face scans are processed on-device where possible, IDs and selfies are deleted after age confirmation, and Discord only receives an age result, not your identity. But the move still raises important privacy questions around biometric verification, third-party trust, and the growing trend of mandatory age checks online, especially after the massive Persona breach linked to Discord user data back in 2025
Been working on deciding where to move to, not sure if I can get my people to come with but as it stands
Fluxer - E2EE is iffy at the moment from what I’ve seen, federation not yet a thing
Matrix - I don’t know of a client that allows audio screenshares which is important when sites keep removing the watchparty features
MOVIM is entirely text based as far as I can tell
If you use Element web with a chrome-based browser you can share a tab playing a video from the same browser. I use Helium to connect to matrix and my Jellyfin server to stream movies regularly. Within the last few months they’ve added the ability to adjust stream volume as well.
I assume E2EE is end to end encryption?
Curious why you care that much. On discord it’s all on their servers anyways, so it already doesn’t matter.
If you had to you could self host and set up e2ee for the connection if you wanted to.
What are you talking about? One of its main features is multi-stream video calls, which most other XMPP clients don’t handle
