Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

    vendor whose major investors include Thiel’s Founders Fund

    To be fair, most SaaS vendors probably have investors associated with the nerd reich

      The best open source Video Calling alternative to Discord is Element. It’s not free, so if you’re looking for a free alternative, you could try Element

      I’m not particularly confident about the quality of this page!

        I think the “it’s not free” is related to discord since there is a paid discord. But the sentence is quite confusing.

      Speaking of, any good hosts that you could run one of those alternatives as well as a django website? 🤔

        There are European hosts, but I admit, I’m not a techie. That’s why I pay others to host and manage my stuff.
