If you use Discord as a forum for your project/game/whatever, this is the perfect time to stop doing that. Seriously.
Just install Discourse, or a commercial product such as XenForo (they have a pay-once self-hosted option), or even phpBB.
We need project forums to be discoverable, easy to access, not tied to a commercial platform.
Slight correction:

As an old: You kids and your TeamSpeak … back in my day Ventrilo, and we were happy to have it! (uphill both ways or something about my lawn).
You think that’s old? Let’s talk ICQ.
Uh oh!
Took me a second, then I remembered the sound.
Still remember my number lol
I’m that old too!
But that’s way before I started real online gaming, where Vent was during the peak of my online gaming days.
Just use a picture of your dead grandpa, I’m sure he won’t mind…
I figure ai probably knows what ai is looking for, so I’m just going to generate a fake selfie if I need to.
Is it even looking for black and white / greyscale photos?
What if I give it a B&W of my own face? 🤔
I assume they fixed it, but I heard a few months ago gmod models were working.
Discord will be using video verification
Should I dump the ashes out or leave them in the urn?
My dad wanted us to roll his ashes into a joint and smoke him.
We respected his wishes to be cremated, but I’m sorry daddy, I don’t think anyone’s gonna be smoking your ashes…
Coward. I’ll blaze your dad, hmu if he starts haunting you over this
Umm, okay. I still have ashes available, you gotta roll it and smoke it yourself though…
Haha I was just kidding, he probably was too. Genuinely down but it seems logistically tricky, if there’s a haunting that needs addressed we can talk about flying me in then ;)
Have you seen “How High”?
I was just joking too, but dad seriously said that, almost every time we had friends over and a doobie going around…
He sounds like a cool guy. The bit’s at least as old as cheech and chong, and the core premise of “How High” is gaining the knowledge of the dead by smoking their remains to pass college entrance exams. I used to tell the kids they should scrape my lungs for resin, here’s Willie Nelson to elaborate the concept :)
They need a phoyo AND valid ID like drivers license
I thought the articles were just listing both as options
i can find norman reedus’s drivers id with enough digging
Matrix + Element.
It’s open source, decentralized (federated), supports voice/video, roles, persistent rooms, and you can self-host if you want full control. It’s basically the only thing that feels like a real discord replacement without being locked into one company’s servers.
I installed this yesterday and couldn’t find one room related to video games that had any chat messages in the past few years. I put a message in anyway, but not optimistic.
We have to invade and propogate!
be the change you wish to see in the world.
now is the perfect time to assist in this developing landscape and make into something we can actually call our own.
I fucking love Music/Band, those guys fuckin’ rip.

I hope irc comes back.
irc never left, we just stopped using it
Arent all of us 56 years old this year?
I turned indeed 56 on Jan 1
What a coincidence! Me too!
April 20th here
I stood my ground on not using this useless software for like 10 years. If there was no in-game chat or voice I just didn’t, but almost all games where that is necessary have it.
How validated I feel as it crumples.
i made an acct last week because my lesbian game night group decided to start a ToR clan. none of us are going to age verify, so i guess we’re going to get a new app. if i can convince them.
Are you a bad enough lesbian to set up matrix?

This is amazing. Especially out of context.
Wouldn’t mind being a teenager again. Ok, maybe not these days, but in general.
You can already pretend to be a kid in a room with other kids on discord! There’s a HUGE CSAM problem on it.
switched straight to teamspeak
that’s the app we used playing dayz thank you i could not remember
I’m checking out fluxer but it’s getting hug of death right now. Root also looks promising but they are closed source and VC backed which gives me pause.
Lol
