Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

I think the other reason the ID push pisses me off is I also want children to be safe, and I am simply not at all convinced making the internet a panopticon achieves that goal

particularly when I look at who stands to profit from the panopticon implementation and why else they're in the news...

For those who are from California, contact your AG. Forcing people to show their IDs which would later be stolen when the site gets hacked (again)?! What Discord is doing is beyond stupid and dangerous.
It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

To repeat.

And to repeat:

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,

and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,

are the same faction.
Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.

The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?
NEW: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that age verification for explicit sites is constitutional. The majority said it protects minors without violating free speech; dissenters warned it burdens adults’ rights and ignores First Amendment precedent.

Why are so many platforms punishing adults for wanting to be adults instead of just making parental controls and telling parents to monitor their own kids.

Why is discord rolling out a "teen by default" mandatory ID system. Why the fuck do you need that information. Why are you making this my issue

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a research study I just launched on rest, energy, & ME/CFS, open to people with ME/CFS & medical or healthcare providers who are currently practicing or conducting research & have had at least 1 patient or participant with ME/CFS. Visit restandmecfs.com for more.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Begging people who love discord servers to consider dreamwidth comms. I know it’s a big ask to go back to some unintuitive tech for fandom or any kind of social interaction, but I think it’s not a bad idea.

FANTASTIC THREAD please read it!!!
Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

Can we stop gating things behind Discord, yet?

Be it information, game mods, game dev, etc. I don't want to join your Discord for a snippet of information.

Discord is not a replacement for forums, social media, or encyclopedias. Please stop making Discord servers for everything, it's exhausting.

Yes, I want to live a peaceful life where I get to walk outside a lot. No, I don't want to walk outside right now. Real outside and fantasy outside are different.
