Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face

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

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

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?

Nepal or something wasn't it?
Oooh, right. Yeah.

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.

Discord was always an overhyped crap.
Not really. At the beginning it was amazing. It took 0 resources to run while gaming and the call quality was miles ahead, nevermind the flexibility around servers and what you could do with them.
Then, as all things, it turned to shit once ot gained market share.

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.
Back in the day before Discord, people used Teamspeak, not sure if it is still around, tho.

Tom from MySpace needs to have a second coming.
He'd need to come up with something new. MySpace was sold some years ago.

Then they will decide that links to some news stories aret appropriate for kids. No more pesky videos of ICE executing people in the street.
When do social media companies actually do anything to protect kids??
