In summary:
- Discord age verification delayed until mid-2026 (more time to bolster alternatives)
- They say they're gonna vet their 3rd-party age verification methods to be less invasive and evil (take this promise with pound of salt, I think) -

You are not wrong, but you also sent me spiraling out of control back in time with that screenshot from fucking CoHost.

@jake2 Discord literally just did this, while being condescending pricks.

@jake2@kolektiva.social Yep. Ironically Cohost died because they couldn’t make enough money for the servers and the community got too toxic by the end.

But after this clarification, I'm going to gradually move away from Discord instead. Honestly, even if this specific thing ends up being not that bad, my guess is that it's just the first time they've stepped up from minor enshittification to major enshittification, and we're going to see age verification gradually get more aggressive and start to see things like ads get introduced, or features that were free getting locked behind Nitro. But I'm glad I've got another 3–4 months of Discord to gradually move everything off
