I’m absolutely deleting my discord account once they update it with the age verification. The matrix protocol is a reasonable alternative joinmatrix.org

I saw a report earlier today that they’ve “postponed” the age verification due to public backlash. If they DO implement it, I’m gone.

You do realize they already get all your data and such right? Discord openly admitted that when theyr pr Department went out and said; “But hey! This won’t even matter to those who’ve had an account for several years. We already have enough data on you guys to verify your age!”

That is still very different than giving them access to my facial data or government id

And you know they don’t have, how? They litterally track everything.

Because I’ve never uploaded my face or a picture or my ID before? They don’t just magically pull that from the ether.

You mean to tell me you don’t have social media, or never had a video call on their platform? You don’t own a webcam or laptop with such?

Yes. I do mean to tell you all those things.
