okay, put it this way: if people had told you, upfront, that in order to use this chat thing you'd never touched before, you had to send them a copy of your passport and let them fucking scan your face and use their spyware to try to guess your age

you fucking wouldn't have. No you wouldn't. You've just chosen to refuse to look at what they've fucking done to you

@sinvega Are people really doing it? Talk about boiling frogs.
@Cheeseness I've already had the "they already do this here in the uk, its fine if you're not using it for porn" so
@Cheeseness I mean, people didn't even leave the nazi bar when there was an identical alternative, because it wasn't fashionable yet. I am not optimistic that they'll resist this bullshit
@sinvega @Cheeseness the left is fighting on a lot of fronts right now and i really wish i could believe we had a chance on any of them
@sinvega Ah, so they're not doing the age verification thing, but are continuing to use Discord? I guess I can understand people doing that - if that's not also accompanied by seeking alternatives/actively reducing dependency on Discord, though...
