The correct response is still "Fuck you Discord, too little too late".

They're only pulling back from March to later this year, and adding credit card options instead of face scans isn't addressing the issue of "fuck you, you don't need to know who I am".

YES! This is AMAZING! 🎉 Keep pushing against abusive practices, and keep fighting for your privacy rights! IT WORKS! ✊🔒 https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/24/discord-just-canceled-its-planned-age-verification-rollout-for-now/ 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. #Privacy #AgeVerification #Discord #PrivacyWin

Discord pulled off it's mask, partnered with fascists, and are trying to put the mask back on. When a company tells you who it is, you believe them. Discord is hardly the only chatting platform. I can promise you, that if enough people leave, friends will follow. If they don't because having a second option for instant messaging is more trouble than respecting your choice not to be on a platform that treats your confidential conversations and very existence like products to be sold, then maybe those friendships aren't worth keeping.

Fuck Discord. And frankly fuck every proprietary social platform. I don't know if decentralized and open source social platforms are the future, but it's the future that we should fight for.

I mean even the news is like "well we were gonna be openly fasc about 50% of our users but we decided to only do 10% for now but the rest we're just doing more secret-like, but still fasc!" so yeah, still garbage
