Oh yeah, that's the other thing. Despite the "rigorous" ID verification, I see so many folks who are somehow exempt from it, chatting and such, only to be found out to be underage. It immediately red-flags that (or any of those) server for me and I am immediately gone. I truthfully don't understand (beyond the plethora of groomers on Discord) why folks would be willing to allow, let alone actively perpetuate the flocks of underage folks surrounding this.

One massive issue I see across all of em are privacy and safety concerns. Not even from the requirement to give your ID to some random mook on Discord, but beyond that... You have folks that inherently see one another as just toys rather than people. Playthings... if you will. Moreover, its pure objectification of any potentially vulnerable person within those servers that becomes problematic very quickly.

I getcha, I do. I feel the same way, but its mostly pretty niche communities that I've not been able to find, personally. Some of which I've decided to adopt here and start up myself, in hopes of bringing light and life to them on the fediverse.

And here's where we introduce you to this magical term called full disk encryption!

and this is why I use Linux. No forced AI nonsense being shoved down my neck.
