So it's not just that Discord is requiring pictures or IDs to verify age. They're also going to be running AI against everything you do on there to "infer" your age... So make sure you "type old".
Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the background to help determine whether an account belongs to an adult, without always requiring users to verify their age. Some users may be asked to use multiple methods if more information is needed to assign an age group.”
@JessTheUnstill long running joke that you should never even joke about "being" a number below 18, in any context, because it will trigger discord age verification

@JessTheUnstill I say we go with "Do you remember Chernobyl/Challenger/Fall of the Berlin Wall" as old typing.
.. just answer "yes, it was terrible/terrible/exciting" as an answer.
Instant age verification

@JessTheUnstill it's a bummer that so many online communities still use Discord, especially considering the enshittification which has been happening over the last few years.
I know for sure that I'm not giving them any ID or any picture and will probably try to move to Matrix as much as possible.

@JessTheUnstill Discord about to be a ghost town.

@JessTheUnstill Oh, that's 1000 levels of cursed.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T TYPE "67"!
@faithisleaping @JessTheUnstill lmaooooooooo

@JessTheUnstill Discord about to be a ghost town.
@FknHannu Nah, this Discord shit is like all of these things. Everyone will angrily shout about going somewhere else, then slink back the next week.

@JessTheUnstill Well, shit. There are a few Discord groups that I'm on. I'm pretty sure that Discord has a ton of info on me already, but I don't think I'll be back.

I think the main thing keeping people on platforms like Discord & Facebook are the group management features.
Private Facebook groups offer the 'walled garden' vibe for special interests, while Discord makes it much easier to organize a community.
There's a feature gap that I haven't seen any other products step in to fill (especially for non-technical users).

Typing “lol” at the end of every sentence should do the trick.

@JessTheUnstill So if I reminisce a lot about the days of IRC, it'll infer I'm old?

@lizardbill @JessTheUnstill Indeed, my first thought was that all of those periods at the end of sentences that Zoomers think are grumpy and aggressive will save me! #GenX

@JessTheUnstill Ugh. It's likely because Discord is going IPO in March.

Yeah, because in the end there is no real alternative.
No one wants to go through the work of setting up their own niche foss server and then have to convince their friends to figure out.

@JessTheUnstill You know those IDs are going straight to ICE for American users.
