And this announcement is just another step on the road to enshittification. It's a shit corporation going public and becoming more shit in the process. Simply don't use their shit. However, it seems a bit rage-baity to claim that Discord will require age verification for all users. That simply doesn't seem to be true. Age verification will be required for users who don't feel the basic features are enough. Were I still dumb enough to use Discord, I don't think I'd feel the need to go for the age verified account. permalink fedilink source parent
