Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

        Intro to Root that I watched

        Root app’s website

        I made a Root account and run it on NixOS through their appimage. I’m waiting on my friend to get it so I can test the voicechat and screen share but so far it’s functional and has 2 awesome features that Discord doesn’t have. Reply to more than 1 comment with only 1 of your messages. Tabs on the top similar to a browser, it’s just more natural for me than the sidebar shit.

        In the mean time I’m still probably gonna host a Matrix server with a VPS incase Root ever decides to pull a Discord.

        Plus I just don’t like the name “Stoat.” xD “Get on Stoat bro” Sounds weird.
