Even this being implemented regionally is much better than the dumb ass idea of ruining everyone’s privacy globally.

Why can’t they be like Apple and do malicious compliance when they were mandated legally to open up IOS in the EU.

Corrupt governments in the past have been toppled thanks to organizing on discord and now they want to take away that tool, so age verification here we go!

Matrix, Signal, Proton/Tuta are much better suited to that purpose.

Stoat is the best discord option right now.

I agree, however the laws shouldn’t make privacy worse on platforms like Discord.
