Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face
-
This includes a lot of harm reduction servers (especially drug related ones like the TripSit one, who help a lot of people every day and probably even save some lives), and having you need to send in your face or ID to access potentially life saving harm reduction info on illegal things is just the opposite of how harm reduction should work.
Sure, there’s still websites with these features, but discord was originally meant to be a safe space for everyone (including people who need help) and this just adds an extra barrier.
Yeah that's definitely an issue. Realistically the only solution there is just to migrate such a community to a new home (fedi serves this need well). But admittedly one of the great boons of discord was discoverability, and that will be lost elsewhere without intervention.

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.
Society will do everything to protect children aside from making better parents.
Because parenting is hard and they don't need the working masses distracted by kids, they need them slaving away forever.

How come?
I was being sarcastic.

One of the most predictable outcomes of anyone or anything downfall is all the idiots coming out of the woodwork to loudly proclaim that they never liked it to begin with and actually saw this coming the whole time because they are so very super smart
I mean yea... But whatever man, people can say whatever. It's not like they're attacking each other.

It is not comparing apples to oranges, there are many companies that use Discord as a direct replacement for help forums or product wikis.

Would you be willing to elaborate more on this topic?
It's a Russian copy of facebook. Non-Russians hate it for that reason alone.

Where should we go? So many game dev communities are only on discord
They'll offboard too, if they know what's good for them.

The obvious solution is architecting society such that parents have more time to parent while making enough to pay the bills, rather than exporting parenting because they can't afford to miss work due to parenting.
You start having enough of these conversations, and it all eventually points back to capitalism and taxing the rich.

It's always been IRC with extra censorship.

IRC & Matrix

yea, but with the video streaming team speak seems better equipped for gameing, at the cost of the federated capability of martix, but i am not sure what these benefits would be
Skill issue, kid.

Tied to your phone number. Cannot use without phone number - result is automatic 0 privacy.
Another issue - there is absolutely 0 recourse if they ban you, there is no support you can email, there Is absolutely nothing. So if you have a family group there and telegram banned you - you are out of options entirely other than switching phone number and device.
Don't touch that garbage platform with a 60ft pole. -

I've already read your whole comment. It's not comparing apples to oranges.

That's another Russian facebook, yes.
Telegram I feel is a mix between Facebook and Twitter. It doesn't really push far enough in either direction to be a copy paste clone.

It has voice and video. It's more a messaging app than something like a Discord alternative. It is secure SMS-like experience with audio and video calls.
I use it a lot and donate to Signal. It's awesome.
