I think this may not be the best time for them to do that….
Can we just use ai generated faces?
I’m deleting my account the day before they implement this.
A bad move from Discord.
Is it really? How many people are actually gonna quit Discord instead of grumble angrily about it? Look at what happened with Reddit. They did something users don’t like, the users got angry and protested, most of them accepted the changes and stayed.
I ain’t scanning shit.
Teamspeak, Steam groups/chat, etc.
I knew discord would go to shit after going public but even I didn’t predict it would be this fast.
You can thank Roblox for this shit.
That’s fucked
My life is on there, and I ain’t gonna give them any ID. Wth do they expect me to do
They expect you to give them all your data
Steam groups now work like discord. We’re migrating there until I figure out how to host a server of Teamspeak or Mumble.
Time to delete that crap I guess
I’m giving Stoat.Chat a go this evening. Looks promising as a self-host alternative.
I would switch tonight but there’s not voice chat in the self hosted version yet.
But doesn’t have a client (yet)?
I just set up my own Matrix server. Holy shit that was annoyingly hard.
I’m not even done. I have to set up Element Call for audio/video.
Pretty sure audio calling is also not fully encrypted? And still no game streaming with video or audio, last I checked.
I don’t really mind it not being e2e encrypted, since it’s hosted on my own hardware, but that’s good to know.
I have some discord bots for use with some self-hosted applications (changedetection, etc…). Does Matrix have similar functionality?
Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive. They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.
That shouldn’t be too restricting for people using discord to chat with their friends though.
We’ll see what they actually implement, and how they do so.
