They do technically still offer a "manual review", which is what they do now, where you have to take a photo using any kind of camera with your photo ID and email it... which isn't really better, and can be very, very slow in actually regaining access to an account.
Since when do they ask for age? I remember you didn't even need a verified email
I’m sure you won’t need this in your average server.
Are you joining dating servers full of teenagers and questionable activity?

I just fought tooth and nail to get my friends from Snapchat to signal, I dread trying to move them from discord to anywhere else
Wow, good on you for achieving that. I had a few friends and family on signal, but after they dropped SMS support they all left, now I have no signal contacts anymore.

Do you guys think that maybe we could fool the AI with AI?
I’d like to try to verify an account using a This Person Does Not Exist generated image, but I don’t use Discord at all
You can, a shitty deepfake will trick most verification systems, I've tested it in banks before
A smiley face drawn in MS paint could probably manage.

Typically they test videos, not images. So your AI would have to at least animate it.

This is what it takes for you to finally leave discord? I would guess most people that have managed to stick around discord this long won't even mind this.
I don't use the platform, why is Discord so terrible?
Oh, the service itself is decent, up to great depending on your criteria. Pretty much never down, works well enough, etc.
It's the privacy and bullshit behind the service that's hated. Well, usually, some people hate the layout, and others hate the fact that it's the default for so many people that it's difficult to avoid.
Also don't forget the walled garden. Some niche topics only have information and support on discord, which isn't accessible to anyone like the general internet
Yeah, discord is excellent for what it was made: sharing memes and voice chat. But somehow it completely replaced classic discussion boards and it sucks at that.
It's the privacy

I stopped using Discord way back when it always spun up my fans and made my phone hot just leaving it open.

You know, revolt exists. Matrix is good but it isn't the same experience as discord. Revolt is a pretty good open source copy of discord.

If something like this happens, I'm setting up a Matrix room as something on the side for if people who work on the same project I do want out of this garbage.
Does anybody have any suggestions for alternatives for chats?
I use it a lot for classes (students use them) and video games.
I used to use TeamSpeak. Very cross platform, as it should be. It still has great reviews although I haven’t dug that far into the privacy aspect yet

I needed my face, ID, and username to get unbanned (disco was convinced I'm underage)
Maybe it's because you spell it "disco"
huh...sounds like an invasion of privacy.
good thing I never used discord because of the toxicity and pedophiles.
nothing gained, nothing lost.
