Auster comments on What's the point of switching to Discord alternatives, if they're going to be subject to the same age verification laws?

I know Discord is enshittifying and I'm all for switching to open source instead.

But everyone's reason for leaving seems to be:

"Discord wants my ID for age verification and I don't like that."

And the new apps will be subject to the exact same laws.

Are users just not realizing that (and therefore in for a rude awakening), or am I missing something?

Them = Discord indeed

And if it's their intention and not from others, them I think the second paragraph still stands.
