Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face
-
According to this article they just blocking access to adult channels and content. You may still use discord but not be able to view adult chat groups, pictures and other content if you haven't scanned your face or uploaded ID.
Seems fair to be honest. Children on Discord been exposed to adult content some which adults would be disgusted by. Not to count pedophilia en masse and seems to be uncontrollable. Discord was not supposed to be a tool for sharing porn anyway. Maybe it would bring some good into the situation.
Yep. This is how it starts.

Maybe this bullshit will be the spark needed to move us all off Discord. It's fine for voice-chat in games, don't get me wrong, but I HATE how its replaced forums/wikis for so many games/mods/etc. Searching disparate Discord servers is like looking for a nonferrous straw-colored needle in a haystack.
I have just been using signal. Works fine.

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.

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?
You are not wrong.

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.

They got scared when a full revolution started in discord channels.
Anyone have a FOSS with screen share / group service?
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.

I would also like to know if stoat offers screen sharing or if it’s just calls and video calls

Five years? My, aren't we optimistic.
Within 5 years, I'd say.

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

Sure, but if we're repurposing a decade old machine, I doubt a 1TB drive is required. Learn to live within 256 or 512, those are not super expensive. And don't need nvme, sata is perfectly acceptable.
Completely fair.

Discord’s updated privacy approach is “teen-by-default,” the company said in an announcement today. This means that, starting in March, all users on Discord will have their accounts partially restricted to the experience you’d get if you were under the age of 13.
I'm fine with that. I don't need porn on Discord.
It also includes other functions that is not NSFW. Nothing that I personally care about but might be a deal breaker for bigger communities.
Discord breaks down the restrictions as follows:
- Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.
- Age-gated Spaces: – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.
- Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.
- Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.
- Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.

Wait, you don't just hang like 6 of them out of your desktop by their cables and wipe them while you sleep?
saw a setup like that at work, until it was determined to be a fire hazard. which it was.
had to short the start pins of the MoBa with a paperclip to start the damn thing.
we called it "the scorpion", cause it would shock you if you touched it wrong, and it kinda looked like a scorpion with the cables hanging out all over the floor...

I hope there is a mass exodus from discord!

That's overkill, a couple of passes with dd and it's irrecoverable.
What's dd?

Discord's own press release says they will restrict new accounts.
That's already bad enough, there's no need to make it look even worse.

If the pushback on social media doesn't get Discord to drop these plans, then I'll just have to delete the app.
Not caving to another app asking for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) only for this same data to be leaked months to years later.
