I know Discord is enshittifying and I’m all for switching to open source instead.
But everyone’s reason for leaving seems to be:
“Discord wants my ID for age verification and I don’t like that.”
And the new apps will be subject to the exact same laws.
Are users just not realizing that (and therefore in for a rude awakening), or am I missing something?
Didn’t it also say that if you self-host a private server for yourself (and mayne friends and family), you’d not have to ID verify. And it can federate, so…
Not that it’s that useful for people like me who are not (yet?) savvy enough to self-host stuff but it should be an option.
