@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.
[edited to fix a typo and make a sentence less awkward]
@disorderlyf @Em0nM4stodon they have explicitly said they intend to continue this no matter what

@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.
@nazokiyoubinbou @Em0nM4stodon quietly?
We’re delaying our global rollout to the second half of 2026.
-
@doin @Em0nM4stodon no we won nothing. they're still doing it. they have not gone back on a single thing.

@solonovamax @Em0nM4stodon Yes. Quietly.
You'd be surprised how well this kind of thing works. "Oh we'll totally put it off for now. And we'll definitely rethink the way we were going to do it and not go with *this* Palantir-connected company. Hey, maybe we won't do it! Who knows!" They'll push out something smaller and ramp it up over time until it's just as bad.
Assuming people let them of course, but... well, this keeps happening over and over, so my optimism is waning I suppose.

@nazokiyoubinbou @Em0nM4stodon no, they plan to do it quite loudly

@solonovamax @Em0nM4stodon Alright, I'll reword what I'm saying. (Character limits make this very hard.)
They do things like this whole putting it off and saying we won't go with them, etc etc to get people to calm down and kind of forget about it for a bit. It's for show.
We actually agree on that part, I'm just emphasizing the "it's for show" part of this.

@nazokiyoubinbou @Em0nM4stodon yes, it's all absolutely for show
this is them just saying "actually, you misunderstood what we were trying to do. if you REALLY understood then you'd obviously be fine with it!!!"
absolutely nothing has changed. -

YES! This is AMAZING! 🎉
Keep pushing against abusive practices, and keep fighting for your privacy rights!
IT WORKS! ✊🔒

Edit: Just to be clear, I still encourage everyone to move to better platforms and delete your Discord accounts (even if there was no age verification at all). Discord isn't a privacy-respectful platform.
But this small victory means we should keep pushing for better privacy practices, everywhere.
This means they are listening. This means you have the power to make things better, for yourself and for others.
Celebrate that. And keep pushing back.
They pushed it back a couple months... It's not going away. Don't celebrate just yet.

@doin exactly
absolutely nothing has changed, except they just want to make it SEEM like things have changed so that all the hate goes away.

I had an account I barely used, to go into the "servers" of some projects that offer no other way to ask for help (some Minecraft mods, browser extensions, etc.).
I got an email a few days ago saying it was permanently deleted. Good riddance.
That said, I imagine Discord will lay low for a while, and try to do this again in a few months.

@Em0nM4stodon I think "for now" is the important part.

@solonovamax Yes, thank you for reminding me. Let go of illusions and keep fighting.

@doin I literally immediately suspected that it was all bullshit so went straight to check their blog

@solonovamax You are a smart person who can see things clearly.

@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 misleading headline. They didn’t cancel it, they just pushed it back while they finish fleshing it out. It’s progress, but not much imo
Edit: I was being a dick. See below

@sar @Em0nM4stodon they are still doing it. nothing has changed.
@solonovamax @sar @Em0nM4stodon
The person responsible for that headline should be flogged, at least metaphorically. "Canceled...for now."
Oh, you mean delayed? Postponed? Rescheduled?
Even with the qualifier at the end "canceled" lends the act a more permanent connotation than they actually intend.
...thus concludes my channeling of my news editor father . . . for now.

@FraEmme pensavo capitasse solo col mio medico. Essendo molto pignolo e prolisso, pensavo fosse un suo problema... probabilmente dipende dalla mancanza di molti medici di base

@selzero wife will have the whole weekend off (she usually works either Sat or Sun, but not this time)

@oblomov I found a very small corner case where they’re useful /for me/, and admittedly of small or negative utility for the OP, when I want to use a post as the seed/context for a broader idea to my followers (where I might usually just boost my own reply) but where my comment simply isn’t useful to the OP (doesn’t answer the OP question, as an example)
In general, though, boosting my own comment in addition to the OP works better
