Age verification for all.
Definitely not doing that. Already only use Discord because my friend circle can’t be arsed to use anything else for group phonecalls. Our private channel is not going to disappear anyway, but it’s quite probable that we won’t be able to link/upload media as freely as before - not that we were sharing any sexual content, but “sensitive content” could be literally anything that US authoritarians don’t like, plus content that is just misidentified.
I’ve got that with whatsapp. Never used discord, it’s more of a gamers thing. But my friends refuse to switch to signal. Even my parents have switched to signal.
Same! How the hell did most of my family switch to Signal, yet my friends and younger brother stick with shit like Discord, WhatsApp and Telegram??
Time to move to Stoat then lol (stoat.chat)
Why not Matrix?
Matrix is actual dog shit in my experience (and in the experience of various IT guys I know).

Good, maybe the masses will finally abandon that garbage.
I’m so sick of being directed to a fucking Discord server when I’m looking for a projects forums, especially when researching a specific problem.
Add on their forced arbitration terms and I’d rather abandon projects/creators that use discord vs support them. I’m not giving up my legal rights just to ask a common question that I should be able to find with a google search. (but can’t because all the answers are on discord instead of a public forum)

Same, but I’m not sure what Discord is doing will help much, because it only affects server that are classified as “age restricted” (mature content), if they’re not, no verification will be required, for now at least.
