YES!

This is what happens when you hit them where it hurts, in the nu... I mean wallet. That is the only way they listen. Discord has a long ways to go before it is redeemed, but this is a win for the good guys!

[werringworlds@merveilles.town]

@Em0nM4stodon All my friends moved to Signal. I assume Discord is just gonna pull a that thing most companies do and wait til they think everyone has forgotten before repeating their b.s.

@Em0nM4stodon "Age Assurance" Oh, so that's the new euphemism for spying.

@Em0nM4stodon Android next!

@Em0nM4stodon this buys us time, but they will try again. Probably split it into smaller steps to reduce the pushback or smth.

And if they do an IPO and sell, then... all bets are off anyway. Enshittification will take them one way or another.

[joeo10@mastodon.sdf.org]

@Em0nM4stodon They're still planning to rolll this out so I would push for alternatives in the meantime.

@Em0nM4stodon it helps also that all these verification companies seem to be run by clueless muppets.

@Em0nM4stodon If someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.

Even though I rarely used it, I like to think that I helped in my tiny little middle finger way.

[nonya_bidniss@infosec.exchange]

@Em0nM4stodon And also, still leave the platform. Make an example of it.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@Em0nM4stodon Until they explicitly say they're scrapping ID/face verification of age for everyone, I say we keep the fire under their asses going. Tell the Stoat and Matrix and Mattermost and all the other platforms that people are going to that they should use this time to prepare for the second influx that'll come in 3-6 months when Discord does the thing they still plan on doing. Those who have already swapped should keep at it. If Discord wants to die on this hill, let them.

@disorderlyf @Em0nM4stodon at what point do you walk away, enough is enough? Folks are so dang conditioned to just take whatever these companies dish out and just roll with the inconveniences for the sake of keeping the status quo.

[epic_null@infosec.exchange]

@siguza @Em0nM4stodon Hopefully, "time" is an ingredient we can use well.

[helge@mastodon.social]

@christoff @disorderlyf @Em0nM4stodon Network effect. It's not that easy. And they know that 🙈

[debonairetoast@musicians.today]

@Em0nM4stodon cool. Not reinstalling tho. They have nothing to offer but shady shit.

[nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social]

@Em0nM4stodon I have a bad feeling they're just waiting for the fallout to die down and then they'll just quietly do it instead.

[disorderlyf@todon.eu]

@christoff @Em0nM4stodon The best time was yesterday. The second best time is today.

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@Em0nM4stodon alternatively, we could just ditch another corporate walled garden, because they will do that, or worse, again. Soon.

[christoff@yem.bouncingaroundtheroom.online]

@disorderlyf @Em0nM4stodon damn right! I left cherished communities behind, it sucks. But, like Twitter, I can’t ignore it being a racist and nazi platform. Left after Elon got it. Wish more folks I respected didn’t go back to those areas and betray their entire stance once it got rough :(

It’s sad. It is starkly relatively lonely but I have to live with myself. I can’t fathom how others can just ignore it. Anyway, agreed, lol
