Well, looks like I'm leaving discord.

Let's protect the children by scanning everyone's face and ID and uploading them to a server that'll get hacked five years from now.

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.

Hope this will mass exodus into Matrix, like it happened with Twitter / X.

Worse, it also makes it seem like developer support that is provided through Discord needs to be always on/always available since you can be pinged on Discord 24 hours a day. Why would you do that yourself, I don't know. At least with forums you can choose to respond on your own time frame and people have less recourse to act like you should be around and available. It's just asking for higher demand from the userbase since you're chatting with them in real-time, they begin to expect real-time fast responses.

Five years? My, aren't we optimistic.

Matrix will sadly never be a thing, much like XMPP never really became a thing (well, it was a thing until google pulled a play from the 90-00s era Microsoft of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish). And each of those tried to replace IRC which still works and is perfectly fine.

How well does Matrix / Element work for screen sharing games?

I'm on discord for piracy and modding. Sure over the years i joined a few other channels. But most foss adjacent channels have matrix bridges. idgaf. If servers required my phone number i always just left the server. Discord wont get shit.

I would barely be okay with a bank or government website asking for this information, I sure as shit would not give it to a fucking chat app.

That's cap.

As a matrix user and a former discord user (4 years ago), i can say that matrix just sucks compared to amount of features even 4 year old discord had.

Unless there will be an alternative social networks which do all the basic discord features like: large communities, channels, voice/video chats, roles, bots; and it does it all well, than nobody will move off discord.

People would rather tolerate significant anti-features if software has lots of features, than tolerate lack of features despite not having anti-features.

Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the background to help determine whether an account belongs to an adult

from the official release.
