And just like that I uninstalled the app, never to login again. It wasn't that important for me anyway.

Reminder that we have a european alternative called Revolt we can always switch to!
Another alternative is Element for chatting and Teamspeak for Calls/Screenshare!
Element/Matrix does calls and screen share also by the way!
(Teamspeak can do screen share? That’s news to me!)

Great. Now I have to wear aging makeup because of my baby face.
On one hand this is obviously absurd but on the other hand I don't actually know how one could solve the sheer scale of pedophilia happening on their platform without some dystopian shit. It seems like there is a maximum size for something like discord because at the scale it is now I'm not sure how you could possibly moderate it. I'll probably stop using it if they implement this but I can definitely understand why they feel like it's a good idea.
I've always hated Discord since the very beginning. At least now I have yet another really good reason.
Never used it, never will. Ventrilo for lyfe.
For me it's Mumble. Open sourced and completely free with encryption, and temporary chat logs.
Ventrilo looks someone's bad first open source project, but it's proprietary. The audio quality must be orgasmic for people to use it.
it's what people used before things like discord, that and teamspeak
So like XMPP, SIP, Mumble, or Matrix without the chat part.

The moment this becomes an obligation for each person, no matter what, I’ll just quit Discord. I’m tired of stuff like this.
If people want to do bad stuff, they will find a way no matter what anyway.
Same, I still use it at around 15% of my own peak usage, if this gets beyond the testing phase, i'm out as well. Never trusted discords ownership and bussinessmodel, and observing their behaviour the last 4-5 years really cemented that as accurate. Bye, I won't miss y'all.
there's already real time AI aging filters, once they realise this doesn't work it's going to be IDs next, i'm so sick of this bullshit
if a kid wants to find porn, they're going to find porn, no amount of laws is going to stop them, but the more laws there are the more safe websites and online spaces to explore the new feelings will be inaccessible to them, leaving only the worst possible resources to be exposed to as they discover their sexuality. people writing those laws behave as if they've entirely forgotten how it was to be a teen, nor have met a teen in decades
I mean at least in the US the median congressional age is 64.7 so yeah gramps doesn't remember being that age much less having internet access. Doesn't consider that you can't find porn mags in the woods anymore.
