    Considering the recent “third-party” data breach cases…

    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.

      without the contributions of the customers

      Without the contributions of the product.

      As the adage goes, if you’re not paying for it (and often even when you are), you’re not the customer.

    Yeah, you go ahead & do that, & watch how many people will jump ship to other alternatives while you lose a lot of money & subscriptions, especially when you’ve been hacked before.

    People have found other alternatives to TikTok, & they’ll do the same with Discord.

    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.

    Shrug

    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.

      So I get a free spam filter for not verifying? Guess I’m never verifying then, lol.

      it’s easy to see how they’ll manipulate this to make you think that their pro-zionist bots are actual people.

      The last point is already implemented, and as someone who regularly has to get DMs from strangers, I have those options off. I guess now I can’t do that.

    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.>

    Revolt! your time has come (though it has been renamed to Stoat; a name I very much dislike.

    Does there exist an alternative that has both a desktop (WIN/Linux) client and a phone (android/iphone) client?

        teamspeak 4 felt like it was in the stone age while discord had a bunch of cool ass features for chatting outside of voice. it also was much more appealing to casuals by being free to use and super easy to set up your own server, whereas setting up your own teamspeak server involved portforwarding and whatnot that turns off the vast majority of “normies”

        We left it mostly because there were better services out there + the UI was considered outdated and all. But personally, I’d rather take the outdated UI than have my data stolen.

    We need something like what Lemmy is to Reddir, except for discord. A decentralized application with multiple instances that users can join.

    I have a discord server of about ~1K members, and would love to spin up a docker container to host my own instance that users can join. Chat, voice/ video calls, video streaming, etc. I’d love to support a FOSS project like this. Maybe even have E2E while we’re at it!
