Age verification for all.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.>

    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

      it’s fine as long as you dont have the server marked as 18+

      also, supposedly they will be having an ai determine people who are 18+ so you might not even need to upload anything

      still, if this leaves too sour of a taste in your mouth the alternatives i can think of off the top of my head are: teamspeak (although i dont think they have teamspeak 6 server files available yet?), riot! (now called stoat apparently?), mumble, matrix, and jitsi meet

      oh yeah if you’re ok seperating the chat and voice app i really like deltachat for chatting in the group
