Discord’s New Age Verification uses AI and Your Face! - Divisions by zero

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/33458015 [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/33458015] > If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

This is what it takes for you to finally leave discord? I would guess most people that have managed to stick around discord this long won’t even mind this.
I don’t use the platform, why is Discord so terrible?

Oh, the service itself is decent, up to great depending on your criteria. Pretty much never down, works well enough, etc.

It’s the privacy and bullshit behind the service that’s hated. Well, usually, some people hate the layout, and others hate the fact that it’s the default for so many people that it’s difficult to avoid.

Also don’t forget the walled garden. Some niche topics only have information and support on discord, which isn’t accessible to anyone like the general internet
Yeah, discord is excellent for what it was made: sharing memes and voice chat. But somehow it completely replaced classic discussion boards and it sucks at that.
