A screenshot of Twitter, a site owned by a fascist and populated by fascists, of a tweet by a user called, ahem, "ImperiumFirst", posting in greentext format (which admittedly doesn't have to mean much by itself), with OP's own title being "Every time"... Why does this post feel like it's copy-pasted from /pol/? π€
Honestly, disregarding all the whingy fedditers, this is the only comment with anything substantive to it. Worth a reply from op.
Thereβs no requirement to use discord
Except for all those communities that require it if you want to get involved.
Mr. Palantir is helping me verify the age of our users!
I understood that reference
I will say that this has been in the works for a little bit now and it's more related to the UK's new laws. We've had this age verification stuff on Discord for some months now.
As for why it's being rolled out globally, not sure. The UK is not the only country / state starting to ask for ages verification on "social media" so maybe they thought it would be easier to use the same approach everywhere? Seems like a bad idea though as everywhere it's implemented it's unpopular.
My experience with it so far has been that... well... It hasn't affected me at all. Mostly because I only use friends servers and activism servers. Those aren't age restricted, so you never hit this check.
As far as age verification law compliance / implementation goes, this is not the worst one. That data leak early on was a clown show though.
Das sind die Regeln, alright then. Cool
Glad it hasn't affected you (yet).
As if there's a book called How To Sleepwalk Into Fascism and half of us stopped reading before the chapter on The Consequences.
It's excusable for the UK but we're talking globally now. There's no legitimate reason to push this globally besides Discord wanting to ID all their users.
A Real Humam Being.
And a real hero
This post would 100% fit right in on 4chan's /pol/ board.
The "Every time" title is what takes it from Israel-critical to anti-semitic. It's the standard format for right-wing posts "proving" a Jewish world conspiracy, implying the Jews are behind it "every time".
OP knows this of course, but they pretend they don't.
oh if we replace the words in your sentence the meaning changes to something antisemitic
Bullshit. As if "Mossad" is not synonymous with dystopian surveillance... This is very clearly not alluding to an "Elders of Zion" conspiracy theory but the Mossad being one of the most aggressive surveillance agency's of the west which is common knowledge.
You saying the Occupation Regime Of West Palestine is a stand-in for Jewish people worldwide is what's antisemitic. Having to tip-toe around "antisemitism" is how the zionists want us to dilute and tone-down our criticisms. Yes the right wingers use "Israel" as a stand-in for jews and a lot of their dog-whistles sound very similar to legitimate criticisms, that's the whole point of dogwhistles. Lets make sure that our stance is clear and firm.
Fedditors not beating the zionist allegations anytime soon.
Look at the guys username. People who name themselves ImperiumFirst don't have issues with genocidal settler states, they have issues with jewish people.
That's an actual argument tbh. The OP on X likely meant it that way.
Another feddit.org user pretending a general term is antisemitic because Israel = Jews in Germany.
Germans not beating the antisemitic allegations either.
This guy is Palestinian
Unsurprisingly 4 out of 5 downvotes are from feddit.org, because criticizing apartheid Israel or Israeli settlers is anti-Semitic.
