Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

    The fascist noose is tightening the world over thanks to proprietary big tech. We have to escape now while we can to open-source alternatives.

    Currently the best private (encrypted) and federated Discord alternative is Movim, which I highly recommend people switch to as soon as possible (the Dev is currently working on discord-like channels with rooms).

    For a more complete guide to swapping proprietary apps for safe open-source ones, I suggest referring to this post: https://slrpnk.net/post/23012609
