Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

People still use fucking Twitter. I hope people will choose alternatives but I’m not holding my breath.

For real. I’ve provided a matrix instance for people to test to see if it suits their needs and to stress test it to make sure it’s reliable at the scale we need. So far it’s been great for two of us but I’m afraid the rest are all going to join at the same time, the server won’t be able to handle the number of people doing voice and video chats and then they’ll hate the whole thing. Other thing they might do is join the main Matrix instance and see how slow it is. That’s almost worse.

I’m sorry, you didn’t ask for all this info. You said a thing and it made me want to get some stuff off my chest. I almost posted more but deleted it. Then I wrote more and deleted that. I’m just gonna stop now but I feel better now that I’ve typed some things at a stranger on the internet that I agree with. It’s almost like a virtual hug. Hope you felt it too :D

Yeah, I’ve been drinking. It’s Friday somewhere.

I absolutely feel it my friend! And never apologize for speaking out on something that passions you up! Positive enthusiasm is something we are in dire need of!

I’m still on discord, but that is because the main community I’m on it for is still trying to figure out what alternative to move to.

Imagine allowing your social life to be paywalled by a billionaire.

No wonder they just keep trying to fuck us, a whole bunch of people are on their knees with their mouths open.

You want me to move to some open source bullshit that nobody uses? For what? If there’s a better alternative than discord sure.

Matrix is a good option, can host it for your friends, and can bridge it to literally dozens of other platforms (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Slack, Discord, Signal, Telegram, the list goes on)
