It wont affect anyone lurking on programming discords because those dont have NSFW content… So basically same thing as YT? I dont know whats the big deal. Dont scan your face, dont give your id, continue using as usual
Oh. Okay, stupids. Bye.
My discord account is about 10 years old. Do they assume I created it as a 6 year old? Account age alone should be enough to verify I’m an adult with reasonable certainty.
Well no, what if you have a Benjamin Button situation going on and will be too young to use Discord in a year or two?They gotta cover all their bases.
Discord was always an overhyped crap.
Would the best alternative still be something like Matrix/Element or is there something new/better out there?
The problem with these things is that it’s really hard to convince others to move to a better platform.
Tom from MySpace needs to have a second coming.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t they got a massive leak for gov IDs last year? And they still pushing this bs?! Hello?
Hello!
You are not wrong.
Bye, bitch! Discord has sucked for a while anyway…
They got scared when a full revolution started in discord channels.
Anyone have a FOSS with screen share / group service?
I would also like to know if stoat offers screen sharing or if it’s just calls and video calls
Are you talking about Iran? That happened over Discord? Is it possible Discord is being forced to do this by Don the Demented’s admin? Might be banking on complying and then seuing for damages down the road.
Nepal or something wasn’t it?
Oooh, right. Yeah.
Interested as well.
I need to move some D&D games to another platform.
I will use AI image generation, such as “Thispersondoesnotexist”. They can have an imaginary face for their data brokers.
Cool. I’m getting off it so that they don’t think doing shit like this is okay
It sucks that many projects that I am interested in, such as Touhoumon Puppet Dance Encore and assorted hentai projects that are on the platform. For now, I put up with it - but I am very much hoping alternatives are adopted by creators.
Does anyone know any good tools/methods for archiving entire servers/all your DMs?
I used this one before, worked great. https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter
I’m actually pretty happy that Discord is killing itself. Far too many people use it as an official platform for stuff like help forums.
Maybe lets go back to basic message boards that are actually searchable, etc.
Self-hosted options like Mumble also exist.
Self-hosted is a pain to get started with but as everything enshittifies if will only get more important.
As someone who doesn’t use the voice chat feature of Discord, I am always confused when people suggest things like Mumble as an alternative.
I am of the opinion that any project that uses Discord for support, I just immediately ignore.
So mad at retro tink for this…
I’m still salty about The Cutting Room Floor requiring you to log into their Discord to create an account for their website.
I guess I’m going to be a teenager again! If only it meant I could not go to work and spend 8 hours a day playing games.
Yeah, no. Companies don’t get to scan my face or ID. You know they are selling your data.
Yep, straight to Palantir.
In 10 years, when MAGA has everything locked down, and you complain about something online, they’ll put out a BOLO, and instantly, the entire network will start checking every camera for your face, and within a few minutes they will have a timeline on your movements for as far back as they want, including every time you enter or leave your house. If you aren’t in your house, they’ll find you out there somewhere, and immediately dispatch ICE Apes to find you, detain you, and send you to the nearest work camp, where you will be leased out as a slave to some corporation.
That’s Black Mirror Season X
This is great news! Discord shooting itself in the foot is a net positive for the whole world.
this is making my ttrpg group actually consider letting me host stuff for them and I’m unironically thrilled… so like, matrix is the way, right? Or should I be looking at mumble or something?
Good Ole team speak
I’m very interested in this question too. I tried Mumble but it looks like it does not support screen streaming which honestly is pretty good. 99% of my discord use since I stopped playing wow is just hanging around with 3 friends of mine and speaking about crap. We like to play or watch movies together and it’s nice to be able to share stuff.
