Discord is making a huge change that will enact age restrictions for all accounts until users verify their age with ID or face scans.

    The whole internet is adult-by-default, so why are we doing any sort of age verification?

    But please Discord, keep ruining the platform, cause an exodus.

        I personally don’t because while I switched to Linux because Windows got too shit I am the only person I know who did that. No one else has switched at all and I still have to go back to it to use it for things that I can’t do on Linux or don’t work nearly as well. So I would much rather use Discord in its current state not with the dumb age verification thing with the people I currently use it with. I would love for there to be a popular alternative that is actually good but I don’t know of one.

      Because parents do not want to deal with monitoring or taking care of their children. You can limit apps etc on PCs and phones easily with parental controls and no they are not perfect but parents are lazy or too incompetent to figure it out.

    This is for one reason one reason only. So dear leader can find out where you live if you say something unkind about him.

    So what alternative to Discord are we switching to? I’m geniunely asking because my server is an 18+ Roleplay Server and members have been asking what we’re moving to… And we don’t really have an answer for them.

    I’ve been encouraging everyone to add me on Telegram so we can keep in touch, but Telegram doesn’t allow it in the ToS for you make 18+ Only Groups
