Well. Anyone got a Discord alternative recommendation if I use it for text messaging? Would rather not upload my ID or face. I looked at Revolt, but they're apparently histed in the UK, which is mandating age verification.
Huh so are you saying revolt must do the image age verification thing now?
I used revolt a few years ago before this age verification stuff started popping up
My understanding is age verification will be mandated if you have UK users or are in the UK, so... it's that online "safety" bill.
