Discords new update :/
6 days ago
General
Well, after learning more about the fall of past online chat services it seems they rise up and eventually crash after 5 -10yrs…. So with discord's new “age verification policy” going live in March, 1 I will not be handing them my ID(I do not trust them nor their third parties to keep my info safe). 2 Depending on how usable it becomes after the update I may discontinue use, really as long as I can DM/add people that's all that matters to me, buuuut I don't like that discord is essentially creeping on your conversion and such (on that note, if they're watching us it should have been easy for them to bust PDF rings/ report IP addresses, makes one think 🤔 ). 3 I’ll be looking into alternatives or handling communication on site instead. I’ve heard of Stoat which is an open source look-alike and Matrix is decentralized.
Anyways idk, I think my fear now is what if all websites start demanding our personal information? How much longer do we have till that happens? God that's gonna be one massive cyber security crisis, anyways I’ll keep it at that for now.

Even though I personally don't care for nsfw stuff I have friends who do and I don't wanna be on a service pressuring them to hand out their info like that. I know I won't be doing it.
I ran into someone earlier who left me a nice comment listing some alternatives: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal.....2#cid:61475992
Might be interesting to you too.
Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to read in full later, but ig I’ll be tossing stoat out :/
Bummer there cant be one service that’ll just last
Looking at the silver lining.. maybe the next thing will let me have a bio more then 3 lines long?
hehe that would be nice! but I won't complain if it means keeping my personal info
Oh well!
Idk, I hope they roll it back, but who knows, guess we’ll find out in March
And honestly I have the feeling (or hope?) that all this non-sense stuff they are implementing is going to collapse sooner or later.
I'm curious to see what happens after this, but either way I feel bad for artist that make sales through discord for the most part ;^;
