Too late assholes… I’m already deleting most of the posts I made on my discord and I will be migrating elsewhere soon.

    Does Discord even have an community relations department, because they suck. Seriously what a stupid decision to just announce age verification and then provide no additional details or context.

    This clarification pathetic attempt at backpedalling, isn’t much better either, they’ve still provided essentially no information on exactly what the process is going to be, and exactly how it is going to work. I also do not like the fact that they’re basically just giving up on any attempts to implement this themselves, and are going with third party solutions. We all know that “third party solutions” means the lowest bidder, so this will be implemented poorly with no operational security, and absolutely will result in a data breach.

    I created my account at least 15 years ago so if they require age verification from me they’re idiots.

      Lmaoooo

      Have you SEEN their UI? You know how over the past ten years we’ve been like “aaaaanny day now they’ll fix it so it isn’t awful…” And they didn’t. And instead, we just sorta… got used to it?

      Pffft… like they listen to anything anybody else says. Community relations dept. Ha!

        Discord’s mobile app is the worst one I’ve regularly used. I’ve never had an app that crashes from 2 gifs.

        Or couldn’t accept keyboard input from the stock keyboard.

        Or wouldn’t let me use the touch interface to move around because the UI got stuck, so I can’t read any channel until I restart the app.

        Or wouldn’t notify you for people responding in DMs randomly.

        Or have a hard time displaying videos that were uploaded to their servers.

        Or keep saved and embedded gifs cached, so you didn’t have to reload them every time, wasting data and time.

        Or didn’t randomly play audio from videos whenever you swiped away.

        Or had the context menu require an internet connection, so if you have low data, good luck editing your messages!
