They got scared when a full revolution started in discord channels.
Anyone have a FOSS with screen share / group service?
Interested as well.
I need to move some D&D games to another platform.
Wait really? Wtfff
I deleted my account after reading the article they officially released...Chat apps won't get my phone number or ID, they get hacked and compromised too frequently for me to trust it. It's total bullshit that they are pushing this shit on the world after trialing it in the UK and Australia. Discord can get fucked, it will suck that I can't follow the development of games that rely on Discord instead of forums or proper fucking documentation sites. Hopefully, more indies will stop relying on Discord (it's a rotten crutch) and go back to utilizing Forums in general!
Nice. Now when someone tries to make me use discord, I'll have a better excuse than "I hate it"
Doesn't look like this will affect everyone. From the release:
- 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.
I don't use any of those.

Whatever you do - don't use telegram.
Would you be willing to elaborate more on this topic?
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.

Where should we go? So many game dev communities are only on discord :(
Other people have been recommending other apps and websites like Stoat and Team Speak though I am sure that a new app will use this opportunity to go viral.

Bye, bitch! Discord has sucked for a while anyway...
Half of Lemmy, for some reason: grr we hate kids!!! Ban them from social media!!!!
Lemmy users when platforms start doing as they asked: 😮
Almost like social sites arent monolithic, and different people can be outraged by different things!
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.
They will have some kind of nebulously described "thing" that will monitor your browsing and chatting habits on discord and use that to decide your "implicit age" and I wish any of that was a joke or rumor.
They won't just ask for your face and ID, they are also admitting that AI or something is going to be literally watching you at all times to "determine your age."
Tell me again how we're protecting kids? Where them Epstein prosecutions at? We save any kids yet? How about now?
