So age verfication to protect the children or to create a menu?

    A note to that, Thiel always says it's someone who expresses empathy, compassion, or other similar sentiment.

    Yes, the ""Sin"" of empathy.

    There are people who've wrapped 'anti-woke' in bible verses and claim that empathy can be a sin.

    Because it's him? That would explain all the kids he raped with Epstein and Maxwell. And being friends with Elon Musk.

    Read through the whole thing, you "lose access" to your stuff but it never mentions them deleting the content. Seems like the same shitty move Reddit did a while ago, "your" content in there is now theirs. Deleting your account just makes u unable to use/modify it.

    @Willdrick @BrianTheeBiscuiteer there's a cool video on the subject at youtube.com/watch?v=g5FbRfwMEuoBasically you have to use a tool to delete your messages and then send a GDPR request to discord before deleting your account, otherwise your messages will stay and will appear as sent from "Deleted user" with no way to delete them.#discord #privacy

    Wooooowwwww. It’s being used for exactly what I said it would be~

    I know a lot if us are not even surprised in the least, but i hope some of the head-in-the-sand naysayer motherfuckers wake up and learn something.

    When they say the images wont leave your computer. Its because they converted it to facial geometry. They dont want the images because they take too much storage.

    When they say they will delete it after processing, processing includes sending a copy to whoever else theyve agreed to share it with. Palantir, im sure here, maybe through an intermediary data broker.

    I deleted my discord account immediately when the news of this face-check-age-check broke

    Why is he obsessed with Antichrist? He is gay. Does he think the extreme Christians will think he is one of them?

    Once you have a few million dollars, you aren't gay or straight anymore. You're just a person who fucks people. There is no community within him, there is no care or compassion for others, the queer community rejects him, he can't be one of us even in name. He's just a billionaire who fucks men. And they're OK with anything that comes after "billionaire" by nature.

    Oh, good. Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir's co-founder Peter Thiel. That's the nail in the coffin for me. It'll be Matrix only from me from now on!

    Anybody here who have a good recommendation for something as simple as Discord with audio lobbies? I see all these recommendations for alternative platforms and software which mostly focus on the community/forum aspect of Discord, and not the things Discord was meant to be used for: talking with your buddies while gaming.

    I used Mumble before Discord was a thing, but the self-hosting a server thing got a bit old, and required me to keep my PC on at all times in case my buddies wanted to play games and chat when I wasn't available.

    Murmur (mumble server) is so light it can run on a smart toaster.

    Teamspeak. It's old and it's still good. Uses no resources at all compared to Discord and there are thousands of free servers if you don't want to host one yourself.

    Yeah? I've heard about that since I was young, and it doesn't seem like it's going to enshittify for some reason. But I thought it was made by a company. Oh well, might give it a go. Thank you.

    Teamspeak is proprietary software, but it's self-hosted and there's an opensource TS3 client.

    Since it's self-hosted, enshittification is rather limited. If the new version sucks, anyone could just run an older version instead, so their are in constant competition with their own older versions.

    More and more things we give away because parents can't be bothered to parent their kids. This is exactly how they win by slowly chiseling away our perceived rights until there is nothing left. I'll certainly not participate in any Internet that requires me to shed my anonymity.

    Okay, this has nothing to do with parents parenting their kids. It has 100% to do with the perception that the internet is dangerous and using that perception to collect information about people. That's what they want, to put a name and face to all interpersonal interactions so they can use them for marketing and law enforcement.

    Social media converted half of Americans into nazis in about a decade and elected Trump twice. If you don’t think the internet is dangerous, you’re not paying attention.

    That said, it’s easy to keep kids off instagram and TikTok without spying. Simply require devices for children to be sold without access to half the internet. Problem solved.

    Some folks would say half of America had always been either Nazis or Nazi sympathizers. But we just call those later groups, Nazis.

    I love how mask off they were in choosing Palantir as their dipshit company name. Like, "Yes, hello, you are now calling Anakin Skywalker's Daycare Service. Are you looking to enroll your child." Bet our political elite would love that one.
