Discord is making a huge change that will enact age restrictions for all accounts until users verify their age with ID or face scans.

    I’m actually pretty happy that Discord is killing itself. Far too many people use it as an official platform for stuff like help forums.

    Maybe lets go back to basic message boards that are actually searchable, etc.

      Self-hosted options like Mumble also exist.

      Self-hosted is a pain to get started with but as everything enshittifies if will only get more important.

        As someone who doesn’t use the voice chat feature of Discord, I am always confused when people suggest things like Mumble as an alternative.

      Well there is that one nsfw forum that is VERY active. Said forum also provides a list of file hosters that have escaped enshittification.

      Those guys pirate the shit out of Japanese games but official nsfw game developers sometimes go there to advertise.
