Discord geht wegen der New-Age-Verifizierungsanforderungen in den Schadensbegrenzungsmodus und verspricht, dass es hier für die „große Mehrheit“ der Benutzer nichts zu sehen gibt

Keep it up! they are starting to feel the pressure! cancel your Nitro!

They don’t seem to grasp that being mad about forcing a data harvest to engage with „NSFW“ content has as much to do with people being leery of having their data harvested as they are of what might arbitrarily be deemed NSFW content and force someone into having their data harvested in the future.

Better to abandon ship now before the depths of enshittification really set in. Miss me with this „you don’t even have to give us your data if you don’t look at naughty stuff“ damage control.

This is proof that voicing our displeasure is the way forward, hit them where the pocket book hurts. Keep talking about finding Alternatives, hell actually use them.

Do as much damage as you can possibly do, make sure they regret ever doing this shit ever again.

I’ve never given them my id and they haven’t asked yet, but I don’t use nitro. What’s the deal on that front?

Holding a smoking gun, „We’ll i didn’t shoot you, did I?“

Can we fucking stop with AI?! The only people who actually want it are the idiots who don’t understand it and the big wogs of tech companies who want to cut all of their employees in exchange for free labor via AI. AI needs to die

Suuuuuuuure

To give people an insight based on experience, I’m Australian, and got age checked by Discord.

I’m a 29 year old woman. I don’t talk about anything particularly childish that ought to trigger any algorithm. I send some saucy pictures to my boyfriend from time to time.

Weirdly enough, it wasn’t a saucy picture that required me to verify. My boyfriend injured his leg, just a simple cut, and discord wanted me to verify to see it.

Gmod didn’t work, Death Stranding didn’t work.

“Move closer to the camera. Remove glasses. Open your mouth slowly. Close your mouth slowly. We’re sorry, this wasn’t good enough, please provide ID.”

They don’t tell you what pinged you for your age verification. I can’t imagine what did. There’s no world in which I should have been age checked, but I was.

With this single decision they have CTRL ALT DELETE’d themselves imho.

I’ve discontinued larger companies for less. For those companies scrapping reddit/social media, I’ll return to the analog age with no problems.

„Think of the children“ rings super really hollow when government and businesses have shown they’re very willing to protect abusers

This is about making them look clean for company valuations and harvesting more data

I requested all of my data, which came with all of my messages. And they got it back to me in about 12 hours. So if there’s anything important, before you leave, I would get it as a back up.

Discord what..? I vaguely remember deleting something like that earlier today.

Uninstalling the moment this goes live. No problem.

Too late, I’m done with it.

Even if they walk it back now, they’ll just try to quietly slip it back in later when the heat dies down.

I work in infosec and there’s nothing on discord I need bad enough to fork over my ID and biometrics. Especially to a company that’s already proven once that they’re incapable of keeping that data secure. Fuck that.

Well that didn’t even last 24 hours lol

If Reddit forces that then for sure I’m deleting and moving on

Man, Kotaku sucks so hard. They have the worst writers.

>I’ve never seen patch notes issued for a press release before, but Discord just did exactly that.

You’re a writer and you’ve never seen a company backtrack a public release before???

I trust my iPhone to unlock with my face. That ends the list.

I’ve never met anyone who had any life problem as a result of seeing a tit as a teenager.

I’ve met plenty who are permanently psychologically fucked by people who tried to shelter them from it.

Parent better. Especially the puritans.
