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

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.
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.

@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.
@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 didnβt cancel it, they just pushed it back while they finish fleshing it out. Itβs 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.

@phillip
It's important to celebrate that our collective action had an impact.Is this solving the problem entirely? Of course not. And Discord is still a privacy-hostile platform, even without age verification.
But the fact that people got angry, and this made the platform move in a less privacy-hostile direction is a win. And we need to celebrate each win. No matter how small.
It doesn't mean we are leaving the fight. It means we can enjoy this small victory today, then fight even harder tomorrow.

@Em0nM4stodon my guess is that #discord had a "#PiperChat moment" and realized that their entire business model IS a #COPPA violation!

@Em0nM4stodon I agree 100%. Perfection is the enemy of progress
Sorry, I had a quick, knee jerk reaction. Wasnβt meant as a slight to you
9to5Macβs misleading headline irked me and Iβve been having frustrating conversations with friends who donβt see the problem with all of this, and/or donβt have all the facts before making judgments. It has me feeling even more pessimistic than usual :/

@phillip That is understandable. I can relate with how frustrating this can get. Make sure to recharge around people sharing your privacy values to prevent burnout. Self-care is important in this long battle π

@Em0nM4stodon it's going to keep happening for this and other platforms if people keep voting for the politicians who are pushing for this kind of surveillance. Discord is only doing this to get ahead of all the new laws that require it.

they're very clearly still going through with it:

While this seems like good news on the surface, I still wouldnβt trust the company or their products ever again.

I am 100% with you, Em. The push back you've received in this thread is the same that I got when I suggested we should be happy that Mozilla and Microsoft clearly hear us, and we should celebrate our wins, even if they are small.

@Em0nM4stodon That's awesome, but I have a feeling that once they recover their users back again they'll roll out Age Ver again

@G3rt alla 18 takete alle 19 Maluma

Scegli due opzioni:

@Perla_13 Sì, lo capisco. Ma faccio in tempo a crepare dieci volte, però.

A quale figura dareste il nome di Takete e a quale altra quello di Maluma?...

@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

@FlashMobOfOne @selzero oh nice!
