Brother I just wanna be able to call and play games with my friends, since coming back to homestuck I met some really cool friends and losing the Homestuck read-through and the occasional us just kickin' it would genuinely fuck with the whole system I think.

anyways, don't get off discord yet; not because this isn't heinous but because we're currently in the post-horror scramble to find alternatives. give things a second to settle down so you can find out which ones suck and which ones don't. instead, cancel your nitro, yell at discord, and plan.

It seems Stoat is having issues so I can't make an account right now.
That being said, I am genuinely distressed about this. I will have to move my entire server and hope folks are willing to join me.
I love The Purple Haven too fucking much, it has potential damnit, I wont let it die.

Also, yeah actually, blow up their inboxes, fuck over their system. CALL THEM.
GET OVER YOUR FEAR OF PHONECALLS, CALL THEM. I'm sure someone has made a script by now but here's a good start.
"I'd like to file a complaint about the upcoming age verification system"

Discord's customer service email is no longer supported but their contact forms are open! Fair warning, you have to create a seperate Discord Support account in order to file a complaint
If you have a subscription with them too, cancel it. If their users can't reach them, loss of profits will

I got an email saying that they cannot review email submissions, and only receive customer support questions through this form: dis.gd/contact
I would try submitting a complaint through there.

The Discord "teen by default" shit is insane. It feels so much like corporations want everyone to be in a state of arrested development. That we should all be children they can control. That we have to be sanitized and childlike. Hating this shit so bad. Please call your reps.

As much as I agree that it’s obviously very important right now to put pressure on the admin to release the full Epstein files and prosecute all of the predators involved
This org is anti-sex work, pro-Nordic model, and classifies consensual sex work as exploitation.

Begging discord mods to learn tone tags because I cannot read your tone accurately and I doubt I'm the only person with autism who's developed anxiety due to people with authority constantly telling us we're fuck ups lol
