Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.
The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.
Here’s hoping this gets more software off the discord support teat. No, you do not need real time chat, you need searchable, permanent presence. Discord support is such a red flag I immediately move on even if it’s OSS. If you can’t do real doco and you can’t stand up a forum (Discourse is nice I hear) then what chance do you have of being competent.
Also, IPO incoming, expect it to get worse.
Is it? Ah, well that would explain it.
I will go onto discord servers looking for answers that a searchable forum or wiki is better suited for. First thing I do is use discord’s shitty search tool, and if it works I type my question and the found answer again in the relevant chat for future searchers and get the fuck out of there.
why not both? Discourse is really nice but it’s a forum, not IRC or Matrix
