Nina KalininaIf you somehow still considered uploading your face/ID to Discord, here's one more reason not to: Peter Thiel seems to be the lead investor in the service that implements the age check. And, oh, the service page says they will store our data on their side (at least for a little while).
codebuzz 🐧@nina_kali_nina We should leave platfroms who are willing to compromise on our most personal data. We all know they have incentives that help them, not us.
Age-checks, digital ID etc WON'T make the internet safer.
Did we fix spam? or DDOS?
Best alternative seems Telegram. Pavel keeps a straight back, figting for users first! Great guy!

@codebuzz I wouldn't trust a guy who lies about his involvement with Russia. Not saying he's like Thiel, but he's not as trust-worthy as furries around here.
DeeAnn Little@nina_kali_nina I also trust furries around here a lot more than I trust Telegram. @codebuzz
@chillicampari @nina_kali_nina oh.. based on what track record?
@codebuzz @chillicampari ez: they aren't billionaires
@nina_kali_nina @chillicampari meh. anyways, good talk.
@codebuzz @chillicampari I mean, I'm half joking, of course :) there are no guarantees some of the furries aren't billionaires
malcolm@nina_kali_nina @codebuzz @chillicampari Allegedly when he first moved to SF he tried to get involved in the babyfur community but was quickly banned from all their parties for being a terrible person. No idea if it's true or not but I want to believe
