    Discord is perhaps the most unnecessary and readily replaceable service and they don’t seem to realize how short their time is

      Is it though?

      I don’t mind making another account, but I’ll have a hard time convincing many of my friends.

    Ha! Well, I’m glad we moved our gaming community off of it when all this kicked off first time round, knowing full well it wouldn’t be the last time they tried this shit. We started entirely self hosting our community to focus on user privacy and haven’t looked back since.

    If people want a link to join, comment or DM, I don’t want this to come across like a sales pitch or shill lol

    They moved my local D&D group onto discordia and ended up kicking me out of a session I wanted to attend.

    The selfie method stands out: on-device processing with no video retained is a meaningful privacy distinction.

    Yea I don’t buy it

      Good. No one should. Not at least after the data breach. I ain’t giving them shit.

    I’m over 400 years old and if you don’t believe me, I still use teamspeak.

    Moved onto Matrix a while ago because of this. Gonna be real, Discord is better but all Matrix asked me for was hardware verification. I fucking hate this ID verification thing. Like we are going to see a sharp spark in identity theft going forward.

    …and shit, I might be part of it. I had to verify with an ID to get my CompTIA tests, which I passed. I am still arguing with Pearson to delete my personal data, but I might be in the shitter with all the others getting their identity stolen.
