Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out

@verge 'let's use discord for documentation'. What could possibly go wrong?

[greytheearthling@fe.disroot.org]

@verge Agh! Couldn't they have waited until Matrix and/or Delta Chat was ready as a Good replacement?

[liquor_american@universeodon.com]

@verge Glad I never became dependent on this shitty IRC knockoff

[pandacab@ni.hil.ist]

@feorag

Even if they're now spoiled rotten by llms, search engines still work well enough to look for them. If your community is to move, it has to be a collective decision and they should do some work too.

@woozle @netskaven @verge

[shadedlady@mstdn.social]

@verge goodbye discord then. I use it a lot but that's a step too far

[kwayk42@sechtor.social]

@verge fuck discord

[eckes@zusammenkunft.net]

@verge to be fair, it’s about time that Discord takes this responsibility and does not have all the “servers” request and validate PII as a hobby

[cathybikesbook@mstdn.plus]

@verge I'm sure there are alternatives out there.

[littlepolarbear@freeradical.zone]

@verge wow... Looks like I'll be leaving yet another platform...

RIP my 10 year #clashofclans server lmao

[wiredfire@mstdn.social]

@stux @verge bring back IRC in a more mobile-friendly shape!

[ambiguous_yelp@veganism.social]

@verge Shared in several vegan discords

#Vegan #Discord

[timmaddog@mstdn.social]

@verge

[coleblank@mastodon.social]

@verge Yeah, no thanks. ‍️

[korbs@social.sudovanilla.org]

@verge Okay, time to delete my account.

[kinsale42@mstdn.games]

@netskaven @verge @woozle yeah many of my discord friends are like "Twitter sucks so I'm just going to quit social media entirely" rather than try something else, so I expect it will be "just going to quit discord, bye"

[retrocoffee@mastodon.social]

@verge lol RIP internet we used to know.

[su_liam@mas.to]

@freediverx @Ertain @verge Well, if that isn’t the perfect use for this meme…

[su_liam@mas.to]

@CStamp @verge The deep and universal concern for the welfare of children juxtaposed with the piss-warm response to Epstein really makes one want to burn things down.

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@su_liam @verge These people don't care about the welfare of children. They only care about control and exploitation.

[su_liam@mas.to]

@wiredfire @stux @verge Boy, I hope so, but… (glaring at Bluesky)… it ain’t gonna happen.
