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.

Our ❤️ is with you @2600, it sucks having a venue cancel on you. It lit us on fire and forced us to make decisions we resisted. It does give you an opportunity to make changes and try new things, but the pressure is crazy. Let us know if we can help.

May we suggest selling “HOPE is Canceled” tee-shirts? Instant classic.
