I have a privacy news channel on my discord server because I'm desperately trying to get my folks to switch to Matrix, it hasn't happened yet but maybe it will now.
Great. Now I have to wear aging makeup because of my baby face.
On one hand this is obviously absurd but on the other hand I don't actually know how one could solve the sheer scale of pedophilia happening on their platform without some dystopian shit. It seems like there is a maximum size for something like discord because at the scale it is now I'm not sure how you could possibly moderate it. I'll probably stop using it if they implement this but I can definitely understand why they feel like it's a good idea.
I just made a post on discord about this, and I link to alternatives such as a matrix group, signal chat, my YouTube channel, etc. if I am locked out, then I hope my followers can follow me to the new place, whatever that is.
And just like that I uninstalled the app, never to login again. It wasn't that important for me anyway.
A lot of games and mods use Discord almost exclusively for their discussions, but I always found Discord groups hard to follow. So much random talk among a few bits of good information.
Steam community boards are underrated.
