      Seams cool, but why not matrix since matrix has different instances you can chose from.

      Does this still require you to ‘call’ people to be in a voice channel? Or is it now similar to discord in that you join a channel and can hear anyone in it?

    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.

    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 product.

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

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        We left it mostly because there were better services out there + the UI was considered outdated and all. But personally, I’d rather take the outdated UI than have my data stolen.

    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.

      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.

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