Can we at least recognize that the protests worked? If we’re gonna critique discord when it’s bad, we should at least celebrate when they listen to the protesting users.

They didn’t listen at all. We don’t want id verification. Period. Full stop.

Switching from terrible to potentially less terrible isn’t listening.
