I know Discord is enshittifying and I’m all for switching to open source instead.

But everyone’s reason for leaving seems to be:

“Discord wants my ID for age verification and I don’t like that.”

And the new apps will be subject to the exact same laws.

Are users just not realizing that (and therefore in for a rude awakening), or am I missing something?

    If private self hosted instances are being tracked down with the full force of the law then well, the implications of how one is living in such a world would mean having much larger problems.

    Anyways anonymous communication in such a dystopia would depend on peer to peer applications and like tor and function via bridges.
