Nice, that's always a good motivation to leave.

@verge "Beginning in March, all accounts will have a ‘teen-appropriate experience by default.’"

Who determines what a "teen experience" is, and this is what folk have been saying when protesting this ridiculous age verification thing: it affects everybody and is a privacy issue for everyone, which is a bigger deal than the pretended "what about the children?" They will now be collecting data on children as they grow up.

@verge good you'll have more time to learn usefull things and elevate sociaty! TRUE KNOWLEDGE

@verge This reminds me of Footloose.

@verge They have done it some time ago, in the UK, so it's not exactly news. Just choose your bypass of choice....

@verge waiting for the second coming of online messaging boards

@verge why do you people use this trash again?

@verge never understood why people use this garbage tier service. I used it for a brief spell some years ago - absolutely hated everything about it. Hard to find info - crap organization, lame monetizing scheme. Total trash. This should be the needle that breaks the camels back for many.

@verge Please leave Discord, you should have left it years ago. I stopped using Discord 2+ years ago, never returned.

Also, don't keep documentation on Matrix, Discord, etc. Put it on a wiki or docs website, FFS.

Yeah, usually self-owns of this magnitude only happen after being bought out by Yahoo.

@verge Just another step towards chipping all people living in US, and tracking and monitoring them with Starlink using xAI. Keep capitulating, and this WILL be our future. No doubt.
