So age verfication to protect the children or to create a menu?
To scramble and divide any organized communication just like they did Twitter and other social media.
They've been telling us "It's for the kids" but it all makes sense now
It’s to “Protect the children™”
Never forget that Peter Thiel knows about the antichrist
It also seems he can't shut up about the Antichrist, too.
Spoilers: Its always whoever he doesn't like that's been in the news the most this week.
A note to that, Thiel always says it's someone who expresses empathy, compassion, or other similar sentiment.
Yes, the ""Sin"" of empathy.
There are people who've wrapped 'anti-woke' in bible verses and claim that empathy can be a sin.
Because it's him? That would explain all the kids he raped with Epstein and Maxwell. And being friends with Elon Musk.

More like he's good friends with him.
I'm not really religious but that piece of reading has bothered me for years. I've yet to spot watchers in sack cloth though
They literally wear his symbol on their forehead with the maga hats.
So no, not only can they not spot the antichrist, they actively embrace him.
More and more things we give away because parents can't be bothered to parent their kids. This is exactly how they win by slowly chiseling away our perceived rights until there is nothing left. I'll certainly not participate in any Internet that requires me to shed my anonymity.
Okay, this has nothing to do with parents parenting their kids. It has 100% to do with the perception that the internet is dangerous and using that perception to collect information about people. That's what they want, to put a name and face to all interpersonal interactions so they can use them for marketing and law enforcement.
Social media converted half of Americans into nazis in about a decade and elected Trump twice. If you don’t think the internet is dangerous, you’re not paying attention.
That said, it’s easy to keep kids off instagram and TikTok without spying. Simply require devices for children to be sold without access to half the internet. Problem solved.
Some folks would say half of America had always been either Nazis or Nazi sympathizers. But we just call those later groups, Nazis.
Just because you weren't aware of them doesn't mean they weren't there.
how would you that? most children aren't buying their phones by themselves
I'll leave this here.
https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/212500837-How-to-Delete-your-Discord-Account
Thank you, that was just very useful. Deleted. One more gone.
Read through the whole thing, you "lose access" to your stuff but it never mentions them deleting the content. Seems like the same shitty move Reddit did a while ago, "your" content in there is now theirs. Deleting your account just makes u unable to use/modify it.
@Willdrick @BrianTheeBiscuiteer there's a cool video on the subject at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5FbRfwMEuo
Basically you have to use a tool to delete your messages and then send a GDPR request to discord before deleting your account, otherwise your messages will stay and will appear as sent from "Deleted user" with no way to delete them.
#discord #privacy
Wooooowwwww. It’s being used for exactly what I said it would be~
I know a lot if us are not even surprised in the least, but i hope some of the head-in-the-sand naysayer motherfuckers wake up and learn something.
When they say the images wont leave your computer. Its because they converted it to facial geometry. They dont want the images because they take too much storage.
When they say they will delete it after processing, processing includes sending a copy to whoever else theyve agreed to share it with. Palantir, im sure here, maybe through an intermediary data broker.
I deleted my discord account immediately when the news of this face-check-age-check broke
And the new Discord CEO is Israeli
Making the move to matrix, and hey it isn’t half bad. Convenience is a hard habit to break
Convenience as in "it's what I've always used and I understand it" or are you noticing some awkward aspects?
My friends and I are trying to. I'm having a heck of a time getting the server going though. Do you know of any good guides? Everything I'm seeing is from years ago and when I follow the guides i keep encountering errors.
This will auto deploy matrix on a server
Why not Stoat? It's much more like Discord.
Why is he obsessed with Antichrist? He is gay. Does he think the extreme Christians will think he is one of them?
Once you have a few million dollars, you aren't gay or straight anymore. You're just a person who fucks people. There is no community within him, there is no care or compassion for others, the queer community rejects him, he can't be one of us even in name. He's just a billionaire who fucks men. And they're OK with anything that comes after "billionaire" by nature.
Don't worry, he fucks everyone. He fucks his employees, he fucks his customers, he fucks government and he fucks the victims of his software.
He's a charlatan.
The antichrist is a convenient label he can apply to anyone he perceives as impeding his personal economic growth or power.
American tech giants are just one fascist cult.
Oh, good. Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir's co-founder Peter Thiel. That's the nail in the coffin for me. It'll be Matrix only from me from now on!
Or XMPP or Stoat.
I prefer not to use centralized services.
Anybody here who have a good recommendation for something as simple as Discord with audio lobbies? I see all these recommendations for alternative platforms and software which mostly focus on the community/forum aspect of Discord, and not the things Discord was meant to be used for: talking with your buddies while gaming.
I used Mumble before Discord was a thing, but the self-hosting a server thing got a bit old, and required me to keep my PC on at all times in case my buddies wanted to play games and chat when I wasn't available.
Murmur (mumble server) is so light it can run on a smart toaster.
Right, but I only have my PC.
Fair enough. I was hosting it for years on a borked ideapad with like a 4th gen i3 along some other stuff
Teamspeak. It's old and it's still good. Uses no resources at all compared to Discord and there are thousands of free servers if you don't want to host one yourself.
Yeah? I've heard about that since I was young, and it doesn't seem like it's going to enshittify for some reason. But I thought it was made by a company. Oh well, might give it a go. Thank you.
Teamspeak is proprietary software, but it's self-hosted and there's an opensource TS3 client.
Since it's self-hosted, enshittification is rather limited. If the new version sucks, anyone could just run an older version instead, so their are in constant competition with their own older versions.
Ooh, that's a good position to be in from the users' perspective. 👌 Thanks!
Stoat has vc, but I haven't had the chance to try it with someone else yet.
Any reason why anything not self hosted won't be subject to enshittification down the line? 🥲
Text has been a little sluggish with my tests. Might be due to influx of users, though.
As long as the voice is solid, I'm good with that.
I love how mask off they were in choosing Palantir as their dipshit company name. Like, "Yes, hello, you are now calling Anakin Skywalker's Daycare Service. Are you looking to enroll your child." Bet our political elite would love that one.
I uninstalled Discord yesterday.
Delete your account too
There's not really anything on that account, tbh. I only ever used it a few times to talk to friends when playing minecraft.
The Panoptocon's actual architect was Bentham, but OK.
try movim.eu if you are looking for alternatives
AI is fascism.
anyone who supports AI is a Mitläufer.
I'll bookmark this
Nice! Very cool.
