@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.
@christoff @disorderlyf @Em0nM4stodon Network effect. It's not that easy. And they know that ๐

YES! This is AMAZING! ๐
Keep pushing against abusive practices, and keep fighting for your privacy rights!
IT WORKS! โ๐

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

@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.

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

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

@disorderlyf @Em0nM4stodon damn right! I left cherished communities behind, it sucks. But, like Twitter, I canโt ignore it being a racist and nazi platform. Left after Elon got it. Wish more folks I respected didnโt go back to those areas and betray their entire stance once it got rough :(
Itโs sad. It is starkly relatively lonely but I have to live with myself. I canโt fathom how others can just ignore it. Anyway, agreed, lol

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange Nice.
however, i already deleted my account 2yrs ago, so i don't really get affected โ
โ
still care tho :) -
Hit their bottom pockets and the "necessary thing" quickly becomes "optional".
Amazing what bleeding money and an impending IPO will do.
@sar @Em0nM4stodon they are still doing it. nothing has changed.
-
@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.
@werringworlds @Em0nM4stodon they even admitted they'll do it in their blog post
Weโre delaying our global rollout to the second half of 2026.
-
@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

@nazokiyoubinbou @Em0nM4stodon quietly?

@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.

@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. -

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.

@mos_8502 yeah, the machines are now better than me several categories of problem, and I'm using them a bunch...but, I'm still keeping a gun by the computer in case it makes any weird noises.

@RealGene Truth -- only a human can determine if the code works. Test frameworks only go so far.

@mos_8502
There's an awfully big difference between code that compiles and code that *works*.

@oblomov I've been using IronFox for a while and it's been good. It's not in the main F-Droid repository but you can add their repository to your F-Droid app. I installed it with obtainium.
