Discord have announced that beginning in March, they're starting a global rollout of forced age verification to access all features of the platform.

      At least on desktop, most social medias work great on browsers.

    yeah this is not happening on my end. I am less than willing to register a video selfie to prove my age, let alone send my ID to who knows who just to access a bunch of shit. Especially after the last data breach that, apparently, shouldn’t have happened since they say they delete everything as soon as verification is completed.

    Time to explore element and the other discord alternatives; I wasn’t using it that much anyway.
