'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

Good.

Discord is overused for help forums and wikis, which makes them extremely difficult to search and dependent upon third party software to be maintained. I hope this will force people away from that behaviour and back to good old fashioned messageboards that have been working just fine since at least the 80s

Ken Jennings on Doomerism/Nihilism

"Entering a total strangers discussion" - They posted it on a publicly accessible forum, my dude.

Also, you are probably right the US will have elections, but will they be fair? Will they be free of federal tampering? Will ICE be posted at polling booths and arrest anyone brown who tries to vote? A rigged election is not a legitimate election

Economic blackout day planned in Minnesota to protest ICE surge

I love the energy but not shopping for one day does nothing.

People are just going to delay their purchases. Better would be to cut all unnecessary purchases, or to be selective about where you shop. Having lower than average numbers one day and higher than average numbers the next is literally not even going to move the needle.

The work stoppage, on the other hand, is a little more promising.
