Edit: Just to be clear, I still encourage everyone to move to better platforms and delete your Discord accounts (even if there was no age verification at all). Discord isn't a privacy-respectful platform.

But this small victory means we should keep pushing for better privacy practices, everywhere.

This means they are listening. This means you have the power to make things better, for yourself and for others.

Celebrate that. And keep pushing back.

9to5Mac
@Em0nM4stodon We won, but only by a small margin. There shouldn't be this ridiculous age verification stuff. But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so let's keep fighting.
@doin @Em0nM4stodon no we won nothing. they're still doing it. they have not gone back on a single thing.
@solonovamax You're right. But we showed them what we're capable of, and that's already the first step towards victory. I've been anxious about this whole time, so seeing this news this morning made me really happy.
@solonovamax I've finished reading it. I was too optimistic. The main idea of ​​this article is that we're not going to eat people in a barbaric way anymore; we're going to eat them in a more refined way, and we've decided to wait a few hours before eating. Fuck.

@doin exactly

absolutely nothing has changed, except they just want to make it SEEM like things have changed so that all the hate goes away.

@solonovamax Yes, thank you for reminding me. Let go of illusions and keep fighting.
@doin I literally immediately suspected that it was all bullshit so went straight to check their blog
@solonovamax You are a smart person who can see things clearly.
