[–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 69 points 6 months ago (2 children) I ain't scanning shit. Teamspeak, Steam groups/chat, etc. I knew discord would go to shit after going public but even I didn't predict it would be this fast. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago (1 child) You can thank Roblox for this shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* Tbf statistical calculations put grooming on discord in the higher percentages unfortunately. That said I don't get what their endgame is. Blanket ID verifications will clearly eat into their bottom line, making it unsustainable. Either there's some limits on it that I'm not aware of or they just budget in a huge decrease in margins. I just don't get the logic of "we do it to fight grooming", because it just doesn't make sense timing wise, but "we do it because UK and Australia are making us do it anyway" also doesn't pan out because I just cannot imagine the predicted results look manageable. The results are kinda obvious regardless. Losing their core audience and subsequently twisting their bottom line, just like Facebook. permalink fedilink source parent [–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (2 children) That's fucked My life is on there, and I ain't gonna give them any ID.
