Unless they trade me a face scan of each Discord employee and member, I'm out. Enough is enough, nothing is free.

that's a great excuse to finally delete my discord account

Thanks for the reminder to delete my account!

Well FU Discord. Over my dead body

Yeah that’s a hard no from me. Want me to prove my ID? I want you to prove that you’re not gonna store it. History suggests otherwise.

Not that I want to use your platform anyway.

Some options:

Use Steam groups, which has almost all the same core capabilities (voice chat, push to talk, image and other sharing, etc.)

Create a teamspeak server if you have the know-how.

Create or join a TeamSpeak server.

"Content filtering" is just corporate jargon for subjective censorship, dynamically and discriminately restricting access to knowledge. I abhor all censorship.

What alternative should we all switch to?

Also thinking AI fake IDs will end up being an easy way around this.

Not if I read it correctly: not uploading anything (and fuck you Discord) means I won’t get invited to view adult content, right? That’s it? And we’ll all be teens forever?

Pfft. Whatever.

One of my friends hit me with the "they already know everything about me" line on this one and literally said they'd give Discord "anything", so I don't think I'm gonna convince my group to move y'all. At least my best friend is educated enough at this point to be interested in moving so I'll still be investigating options.

This is the point where you need to teach a short, sharp lesson to companies by burning it to the ground.

Seeya ✌️

I heard it suggested that you can possibly trick the face scan using screen grabs of video game or tv characters. Anyone know if this is actually possible?
