We’ve moved our internal communications from Discord to Zulip at Mastodon, and I think there are plans to do the same for our Patreon community.

@kerfuffle @Gargron Good question - and if the latter, how easy is it to export everything to a sovereign solution down the line?
@csolisr
I have not done this myself, but here are docs

@Gargron @kerfuffle -
I don't understand why all centralized services suddenly insist on actually verifying their users' age for real. What was wrong with asking for a birth date or even just presenting a "yes I'm 18 or older" button? NSFW websites somehow still do just fine with that, but Discord, which is much less "risky" in comparison, somehow needs real verification?
Gosh I miss the old internet.
@grishka@friends.grishka.me @Gargron@mastodon.social It all started with the UK's Online Safety Act, where we now ID for porn sites, the UK Gov has since pushed for IDing on these platforms and it's being pushed out worldwide as it's not cost effective for just one country.
It's stupid and is one of the reasons I'm finding alternatives for friends -
@Gargron yeah, gonna be tricky to move those. especially with how convenient to use the voice channels are.
@noodlejetski @Gargron this is relevant to add here, WRT "QOS rules":

@darwinwoodka @grishka @Gargron I'm with you in spirit here, but I seriously doubt this, considering the actual teens I know, and how "path of least resistance" they are. Alas, no #ElbowsUp for these heel-dragging #Canadian teens I know! I'll believe it when I see it.

@csolisr @Gargron @kerfuffle a highly relevant question

@64bithero @Gargron does Stoat have voice chat? I can’t find anything about that, so I assume it doesn’t

@64bithero @Gargron oooh that’s tempting. I tried it a while back when it was still Revolt, but they didn’t have voice chat yet. I’ll have to try it again after work today

@grishka@friends.grishka.me @Gargron@mastodon.social If they refuse to ID people they can get 'fines of up to £18 million or 10% of qualifying worldwide revenue' whichever is bigger.
It's sadly not just porn sites but also self-help sites, subreddits, communities and all sorts now. -

@Gargron "Well find a way to bring users back..." as a closing statement, feels so gross...

@Gargron Check out Teamspeak with their new version. Otherwise, stick with the old version with Mumble

@grishka@friends.grishka.me You can fine foreign entities if they operate in your country. If they don't obey they can get blocked from the whole UK internet, we currently don't have access to Rule34, PornHub (at least the NSFW area) along with a few other NSFW services at all, others are IDed and illegal content has been made easier for children to find as these safer sites are now wiped out. So the OSA has done a lot more damage than fix.
