Technically, safety mandates ARE systems of surveillance.

    I have a nice community built on discord, as soon as they announced the age verification thing I made a post.

    if they pop up that for me, I’m not coming back to discord, here is other ways to contact me. I added a matrix server and signal chat, etc as a list of alternatives.

    Discord in particular is a huge sore spot for me so this sucks :/. It's one of the few services I can't just leave

    im the opposite. I was mainly only on for play on discord and I did not have much time for that. I like won't move to a federated version unless it was really mature with rpg communities.
