Discord's plan to require face scans or ID verification is capitulation to overbearing legislation that's still far from universal.

    Corrupt governments in the past have been toppled thanks to organizing on discord

    Matrix, Signal, Proton/Tuta are much better suited to that purpose.

      I agree, however the laws shouldn’t make privacy worse on platforms like Discord.

      Stoat is the best discord option right now.

        not for organizing resistance to corrupt governments, as it doesn’t have E2EE.

          That is not really my primary use of a Discord channel I must admit.
