      I’m trying to be as charitable as possible, but I’d like you to provide a source for this assertion that Sakhnini has some connection to Israeli intelligence or the Israeli government besides being from Israel, otherwise your comments will be removed.

        I’m sorry. I was angry with the current decisions, and haven’t been as careful as usual with verifying my sources.

        I still believe that nothing good will come of this, but I cannot prove that nationality will have anything to do with it.

        I have deleted my own comments, and will be more careful next time to avoid spreading rumor and misinformation.

          Perfectly valid to be angry about Discord’s current behavior, as it’s absolutely terrible. I already cancelled my Nitro over this and am actively taking steps to be prepared to leave the whole thing if needed.

          Consequently, it’s worth mentioning that I don’t actually have any faith whatsoever in Discord’s current CEO. It’s just important to make sure that when we hate Israel’s treatment of Palestine, we don’t end up slipping into bigotry towards people just for being from the country and nothing more. Not every Israeli likes Israel’s actions. Plenty of teens have chosen prison over IDF draft, for example.

          With regard to that, then: I appreciate the self-awareness and de-escalation. Not easy to do, but always good to see. Thanks for that.

          Hey, I appreciate your response. I totally get the anger, and I can see lots of possible ways that this wave of age verification policies could bite folks in the ass. Thanks for being reasonable, I hope you have a great day.
