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

        Tied to your phone number. Cannot use without phone number - result is automatic 0 privacy.
        Another issue - there is absolutely 0 recourse if they ban you, there is no support you can email, there Is absolutely nothing. So if you have a family group there and telegram banned you - you are out of options entirely other than switching phone number and device.
        Don’t touch that garbage platform with a 60ft pole.

        It’s a Russian copy of facebook. Non-Russians hate it for that reason alone.

          I though VK was Russian Facebook.

            That’s another Russian facebook, yes.

            Telegram I feel is a mix between Facebook and Twitter. It doesn’t really push far enough in either direction to be a copy paste clone.

            I’m not sure anyone could read that as sarcasm. You gotta add a /s

                It has voice and video. It’s more a messaging app than something like a Discord alternative. It is secure SMS-like experience with audio and video calls.

                I use it a lot and donate to Signal. It’s awesome.

                  I use it for messaging, but I hadn’t seen anything similar to discord. I was hoping you knew something I didn’t. Lol.
