Age verification for all.

Good, maybe the masses will finally abandon that garbage.
I’m so sick of being directed to a fucking Discord server when I’m looking for a projects forums, especially when researching a specific problem.
Add on their forced arbitration terms and I’d rather abandon projects/creators that use discord vs support them. I’m not giving up my legal rights just to ask a common question that I should be able to find with a google search. (but can’t because all the answers are on discord instead of a public forum)

Same, but I’m not sure what Discord is doing will help much, because it only affects server that are classified as “age restricted” (mature content), if they’re not, no verification will be required, for now at least.
Is that known already? Which servers are deemed appropriate?
It is known since this age verification has existed for a while now in some regions, it’s only now rolling out globally.
The server owner is the one that marks a server or specific channels as NSFW.
So if you don’t send/visw anything NSFW this won’t impact you.
Definitely not doing that. Already only use Discord because my friend circle can’t be arsed to use anything else for group phonecalls. Our private channel is not going to disappear anyway, but it’s quite probable that we won’t be able to link/upload media as freely as before - not that we were sharing any sexual content, but “sensitive content” could be literally anything that US authoritarians don’t like, plus content that is just misidentified.
Time to move to Stoat then lol (https://stoat.chat/)
Why not Matrix?
Matrix is actual dog shit in my experience (and in the experience of various IT guys I know).
Care to expound for us less privileged?
Not only it’s unstable, but a friend of mine who dabbles with it also vouched for it being extremely unstable, and also it has a massive CSAM bot problem. A lot of IRC channels had to shut down their Matrix bridges cause they kept getting spammed with that shit. To that guy IRC is actually more user friendly.
Thanks, that’s informative! 🤘🏻
