Why does it feel like this has happened every couple months for the last 2 years?

I knew about Discord since the very beginning. But it felt always fishy. Why would they provide a service for frees? Teamspeak servers cost money on a monthly basis?

Over the time more and more small communities i liked to interact with were only accessible via Discord. Which was alright because you didnt even need an account to do it. Jump in, do the thing and fuck off.

At some point it was just convenient to make an account with an email adress i dont even remember anymore. Just to keep up with all the niche interest groups. Then a lot of them started to require my phone number. lmao. I just left those "servers".

But ngl over the years i found some communities which will hurt to abandon. The network effect is real. But its maybe time to fuck off forever.

Fluxer has been an adequate replacement for my ttrpg group, for anyone else looking for alternatives.

And I still won’t do it. If they try to shove it down my throat then I’ll stop using it. I don’t need discord. No one does. That’s what they don’t get.

Goodbye discord

The second I knew they were going to roll over and comply, I simply said goodbye to Discord. It was just going to get worse, given how easily they get breeched and malicious actors can get access to stored information, I don't need to be part of that.

My account is over 11 years old and still cannot see nsfw. Need to be 13 to start using discord so it should automatically age verify me to 24+. But they just want an excuse to track people 100%

F that

I hate discord but I can’t convince the people I talk to to go elsewhere. And discord just this evening said my account of nine years is too young to see nsfw channels. Par for the course

Discord helps creating the problem, and gleefully announces a "least bad" option after laws are in place. Hmm.

So what you are saying is your initial version violated our privacy? Tell us more discord, how EXACTLY did it infringe on our privacy? What made you say that? We want to hear it from you.

A good federated alternative to Discord is Movim.

This sucks but isn't surprising.

It's frustrating though, because getting friends to use anything else, let alone bigger communities that i follow, is nigh impossible.

discord ain't even loading for me, so I think I've already been cut off

Fluxer. We switch to Fluxer.

Jammi anybody? I just installed it.

I can't believe any of you people have accounts left. Didn't you delete it after the last round of bullshit? Frankly if you stuck around you deserve bad things happening to you.
